Akashi - Tai Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu 0,5l

Akashi Tai Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu is an exceptional Japanese umeshu plum liqueur created by combining high-quality Japanese ume plums with premium Ginjo sake. This drink comes from the artisanal Akashi-Tai brewery, where it is produced in small batches under the supervision of experienced sake master Toji Kimio Yonezawa. The result is an elegant and harmonious beverage with natural sweetness, gentle acidity, and a rich fruity character typical of traditional Japanese umeshu.

The Yonezawa family has been brewing sake since 1856. For generations they have used only carefully selected local ingredients and traditional methods that emphasize the purity and quality of the final product. Akashi-Tai sake is produced in smaller batches, allowing maximum control over every step of the process.

Thanks to this approach, the brand’s beverages maintain an authentic artisanal character and exceptional quality. The production also uses premium Yamadanishiki rice, graded A+, which is considered one of the finest rice varieties for sake brewing. It adds depth and complexity to the flavor. Fans of Japanese beverages will appreciate it similarly to other products in the sake category or traditional fruit liqueurs.

On the nose, intense aromas of ripe Japanese ume plums dominate, complemented by delicate floral and fruity nuances. The aroma feels fresh, sweet, and very inviting. The palate is smooth and balanced, offering a pleasant harmony between sweetness and gentle plum acidity. Subtle notes of sake appear in the background, giving the drink an elegant structure and a longer fruity finish.

Akashi Tai Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu is ideal as a digestif after a meal or as part of modern cocktails. It is best enjoyed well chilled, over ice, or lightly diluted with soda water. Thanks to its freshness and fruity flavor, it is also popular as an aperitif or as an unusual pairing with desserts.
