Oshukubai umeshu rests for three years, then spends two more in Nikka Whisky casks, layering wood, vanilla and a quiet smoky note over concentrated plum.
Cask-aged umeshu · 5 years
Three years at rest, followed by two in cask
Oshukubai umeshu settles in tank for three years before moving into Nikka Whisky casks for a further two.
Building the plum core over three years
Time draws fruit sweetness, acidity and the deeper stone-fruit character of ume into a foundation substantial enough for oak.
Finishing for two years in whisky cask
Wood, vanilla, gentle smoke and fine tannin give the plum liqueur added dimension.
Five years expressed through plum and oak
The concentrated centre of ume remains intact beneath whisky-like aroma and length.
Ripe ume, vanilla, wood and a long finish
Rich plum and honeyed aroma meet vanilla, toasted wood and quiet smoke. Plum acidity and oak tannin shape the dense palate into a long, complex finish.
A specialist plum-liquor producer in Oyama
Oyama Yume Kobo works with locally grown ume in Hita, Oita, extending the expression of the fruit through long maturation and cask ageing.
