Umesake no kyo - vintage umeshu, sake including 3 years of maceration of Japanese Ume plum

Umesake no kyo is a unique drink, resulting from the maceration of a variety of Japanese fruit and a sake designed in the purest of traditions. Only its perfect balance in the mouth compares with its formidable power. Ume (pronounced “oumé”) is a fruit from Japanese apricot trees. Often confused with plum, it is very popular in Japan. Among the different varieties of this fruit, the “No-kyo” represents excellence. Here, the “No-kyo” macerate between 24 and 36 months in a traditional sake vat, giving it an exceptional flavor. If the attack is powerfully sweet, it is wonderfully balanced afterwards with the original acidity of the fruit. Added to this composition is an exceptional length in the mouth... What our sommeliers say: " Incredible balance between sweetness and acidity! It's a roller coaster, with a very tasty finish " What our wine merchants say: "The umeshu is popular with all Japanophiles. This "superior" version wins all the votes. Even those who do not know!
