Description

The Myojo shop is located near Iidabashi station. This is not a wine shop, but a restaurant. However, don’t think that will limit your drinking experience. You can get 150 different types in this place, with other types of liquors too. You can get the signature shabu-shabu dish in this restaurant to pair up with your Umeshu. You can get 3 kinds of Umeshu which will cost 1200 Yen. If you are not sure what Umeshu to try or select, you can speak to the wait staff and they will recommend something for you. Plus, you get really good food here. This distinct take on the classic mojito swaps out mint for shiso and is inspired by one of my favorite umeshu from Houraisen, which was made with shiso paste added to the extraction. Muddle the brown sugar, shiso and lime. Add the umeshu, and finish with club soda to taste. Umeshu iced coffee In a few weeks, we’ll be seeing our friends steep fresh, unripe Japanese plum (or is it apricot?) in liquor in big glass jars that will sit for six months or longer to convert into umeshu; but for those of us who don’t have access to ume, we can enjoy premium umeshu by three wonderful sake breweries through the Plum Sake Set. Plum Sake Set All three plum sake are distinct. Notice the differences in color and viscosity. | Photo by @thesakemom. Umeshu,” often referred to as plum wine, is a beguiling beverage that leverages the sour characteristics of its namesake fruit, rendering them into a refreshing and punchy drink that is as versatile as it is delicious. With an alias like plum wine, it would stand to reason that umeshu is simply a wine made from plums rather than grapes, but in truth it is more like a plum liqueur. So as the plum blossoms are beginning to brighten the dreary late winter landscape in Japan, let’s take a closer look at umeshu. What is plum wine?

In fact, some scientific texts refer to Prunus mume as Japanese apricot even though the tree originated in southern China. Various forms of ume-based drinks exist in many countries where the fruit grows. Korea has maesil ju, with a soju base and added honey instead of sugar. In Taiwan, wumeijiu adds oolong tea and smoked plum into the mix. In many ways, the question “What is plum wine?” is similar to the often-asked question “What is rice wine?” Is plum wine sweet? There are a variety of plum wines available with some key differences that set them apart from each other. For those of you who are just entering the wonderful world of umeshu, here are three bottles that will help you set out in the right direction and help you find your preferences. Choya “Plum Wine” (with fruit) Sweetness level: Plum wines can range from dry to sweet. Determine your preference for sweetness and choose a wine accordingly. Some bottles may indicate the sweetness level on the label, such as “dry,” “semi-sweet,” or “sweet.” After a year, you can finally get to enjoy your plum wine. The flavor and fragrance of the plum wine ripen as itages, so make sure to store in a cool, dark place for years to come! You might want to start making two batches if you can’t stop drinking it. 😉

This is a Japanese specialty that is enjoyed best in winter months. Mix warm water with Umeshu in the ratio of 1:1 and you have a handy, delicious drink to sip by the fireplace. There’s no doubt that many of us who’ve never tried sake are still familiar with Kikkoman, the global producer and distributor of products across the spectrum of Asian cuisine. It makes sense, then, that they would also have an umeshu product as well. Their 12.5% ABV plum wine is rich and sweet, and has probably been the first glass of umeshu for many around the world. Hakutsuru Brewing Company Ume plums cannot be eaten raw because they contain a tiny amount of poison. Plus, they are incredibly sour. So people either dry them up, make them into jam, soak them in vinegar, or soak them into liquor, which is Umeshu. When mixed with liquor, there is a zero chance of poisoning. #1 Anyone can make their Umeshu at home

Before sake, I would’ve immediately reached for white wine and it would’ve been fine, but this sake was top-notch; more than “food friendly,” it truly elevated the dish as the plum tones complemented the sherry/soy sauce umami flavors. I couldn’t get enough of this sake and lobster! | Photo by @thesakemom. One difference about this product is that the base alcohol used is vodka. It is also the most inexpensive option out of the three. Kikkoman takes pride in making the full flavor plum wine which has been fermented in 100% plum juice. If you like your wine strong and sweet, the Umeshu has a fruity flavor with 12% alcohol content to give you the punch. You can use this wine to drink in the winter months with warm water or even drink it cool without diluting it too much. It looks like a much richer version of the rose and is a bright shade of red. The aftertaste is smooth and pleasant. 6. Nakano BC Yuzu UmeshuSuntory Plum Wine (Barrel Finish) is another Japanese plum wine made by Suntory. The way it is prepared is similar to the last one on this list; however, this one has a more inexpensive price. It is a stronger version of the last product on this list, so if have tried the last one and felt that you like a stronger sour drink, then this might be the perfect option for you. As for the Umeshu, it has a very subtle and sweet taste of the wine with very little acidic taste. The drink is also sulfite-free and has extremely high-quality Ume.
