This is a carefully crafted cloudy plum wine 'Umeshu King' presented by Oimatsu Shuzo. Utilizing the techniques developed by the brewery known for its authentic shochu 'Enma' and 'Okoge', this bottle is finished using luxurious base spirits and ingredients. The base consists of rare vintage sake brewed in Showa 44 and blended with 3 to 5-year-aged barley shochu stored in oak barrels. Furthermore, the plums used are carefully selected large, ripe Nanko plums. It is a cloudy type that preserves the richness of the fruit's flesh, offering depth in both appearance and flavor. The aroma is sweet and fragrant with a floral plum scent. The mouthfeel is soft, characterized by a refreshing taste that is not overly sweet. With an alcohol content of 18 to 19 degrees, it is slightly higher but smooth and easy to drink, making it enjoyable on the rocks or straight. This is truly a product worthy of being called 'the king of plum wine', allowing you to savor the umami of the plum and the depth of the aged sake simultaneously.
