古鶴梅 10年
FURUTSURUUME Ume 10 years old
Umeshu
— A Decade in Harmony —
FURUTSURUUME 10-Year-Old is the jewel of Heiwa Shuzo in Wakayama, Japan’s plum heartland. Nanko ume plums are steeped for four months in junmai sake, rested for two years in tanks, then matured for eight more years in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks—one of the longest wood-maturation periods in umeshu. After a decade, it pours deep amber with aromas of raisin, fig, and toasted almond, offering a velvet-soft palate and a poised, dry finish.
“Tsuru-ume” symbolically links the crane—a sign of longevity—to renewal, while “Furu” means “aged.” Time itself is the master blender, transforming local fruit and sake into a rare ten-year-old symphony.
Founded in 1928 on former temple land, Heiwa Shuzo brews with ultra-soft spring water from Mount Koya and has twice earned the IWC “Sake Brewer of the Year” title, blending spiritual terroir with youthful innovation.
