While most plum wine or sake is made with shochu, fermented plums, or grapes with plum flavors added, this is the only "ume-shu" crafted with premium Japanese sake and the region's highest quality ripe green plums, or "shiro-kaga". The plums are soaked in sake for over three months to achieve a rich, sweet aroma and subtle plum flavors. Sake Facts Quality Grade: Premium Sake Plum: Aodani. The Aodani (Green Valley) is Kyoto's largest plum orchard with over 10,000 plum trees Alcohol: 10.5% Brewery Facts Brewery Name: Kizakura Brewery Location: Kyoto Prefecture Toji (master brewer): Mr. Takakura Tasting Notes/Food Pairing: This is a semi-sweet sake with ample aromas of almond and marzipan. Perfectly ripe plum flavors dominate the palate while the smooth, slightly sweet, and lip-smacking long finish ensures you'll want another sip or glass! Serving Suggestions: Enjoy chilled Tozai Plum in a small white wine glass straight or on the rocks. Or try these cocktail suggestions for some fun with the plum!
