Green ume with mature stock
Layering green ume, mature stock and brandy
Green-ume liqueur is blended with mature cellar stock and the winery’s own brandy, adding the dimension of time to the fruit.
Building on green-ume acidity
Green-fruit fragrance and acidity preserve definition within the mature sweetness.
Blending mature umeshu and brandy
Roundness, toasted notes and length move the profile toward the character of a digestif.
A quiet bitterness beneath the richness
Nut-like aroma and a slight bitter note keep the generous fruit from feeling loose or overly sweet.
Ume, marzipan and roasted nuts
Subtle plum opens into red fruit, marzipan and roasted nuts. The palate is soft, with only a light, pleasant bitterness at the finish.

Dishes that follow the marzipan-and-nut finish
Fukuume Ebisu blends green ume with a barrel-aged base spirit and the producer’s own brandy, moving toward aromas of marzipan and roasted nuts. The pairings below are not an official recommendation from the producer, but a reading based on its recorded flavor characteristics.
This pairing rationale draws on the following reference books: Referencing data in The Grand Compendium of Food Pairing showing that nutty and roasted-aroma ingredients tend to connect well, this reading pairs the marzipan and roasted-nut character of Fukuume Ebisu with nut-based dishes and pastries; its soft texture draws on the texture axis described in Logical Pairing (summary).
