Kaga Umeshu Aged 5 years (720ml)

Kaga Umeshu Aged 5 years

Meticulous Production Process

The harvested Benisashi plums are immediately transported to the brewery and carefully washed in pure water. Each plum stem is removed by hand to ensure a pure, clean plum flavor without any unwanted taste elements.

Deep Flavors Through Five Years of Aging

Through five years of aging, the refreshing aroma of plums harmoniously blends with the umami of pure rice ginjo sake. The aging process creates a perfect balance of sweetness, astringency, bitterness, and acidity, resulting in a rich and luxurious taste profile.
