Umeshu is usually made by marinating plums in plain white alcohol, but Shiraume Umeshu uses a premium ginjo-type sake instead to slowly extract the fruit essences. Once the marinade
is complete the plums are removed and then the umeshu is left to mature for 2 years for extra smoothness and richness. It is best enjoyed with ice or mixed with soda. Shiraume Umeshu has a nose of dried fruit, date, plum and apricot and is sweet and rich to the palate with a velvety, dry finish.
