How it is made

Two ume varieties, connected by junmai sake

Estate-grown ripe Nanko and Tsuyu-Akane are steeped with junmai sake from Kyoto’s Sasaki Shuzo and rock sugar.

01

Depth from ripe Nanko

Tree-ripened Nanko brings generous perfume and rounded fruit sweetness.

02

Tsuyu-Akane and sake as the bridge

Tsuyu-Akane contributes colour and bright acidity, while gentle rice savouriness draws the two fruits together.

The result

Vivid fruit wrapped in the softness of rice

Natural pale-red colour carries plum’s sweet-tart energy with the rounded texture of sake.

Taste profile

Red fruit, ume and a soft rice-led finish

Red fruit, ume and a soft rice-led finish

Fragrant plum and red-fruit notes lead into juicy sweetness and acidity, followed by the gentle savoury echo of junmai sake.
