Shiraume Umeshu Plum Infused Sake 50 cl

I absolutely love this sake. I used to go to a restaurant that would serve plum sake and so I had to give this a try and this has to have better quality in my personal opinion. It’s got a sweet flavour to it and the texture is nice and smooth. It’s so nice served cold and warm depending on the setting and tone of your evening. The bottle size is perfect especially for someone who doesn’t drink too often and prefers to take shots from to keep it lasting. I wouldn’t suggest drinking it all away in one sitting for any other reason other than to make it last! This is a beautiful drink to share with your pals! If you’re considering it, I urge you to give it a try!

Arrived today. I’ve recently decided to try a few different Sake’s, I can definitely say these Akashi-Tai are worth it and are not letting me down one bit. I have tried their Honjozo Tokubetsu and now this one as well, absolutely lovely and I get a nice warm sensation in my chest and stomach once swallowed (positive feeling not negative for those that didn’t get that), they truly are amazing drinks. Photo is of both bottles I have of theirs.

Every pay day I will treat myself to a bottle of something. While travelling in Japan I drank the sake and plum wine like it was water. Since returning back to the UK I can find decent enough sake at the wholesale oriental supermarket but not plum wine..I find the kikumen one very artificial.. Anyway I was close to buying my favourite Choryu plum wine on Amazon as its £35 most places but thought I'd try this for a change. The bottle is of nice quality and the taste caught me off guard..I was expecting sake with a hint of plum..and I normally warm it up. This is very viscose and tastes extremely plummy. Sweet but got that sour note, I just drink this neat with a cube of ice...it would make a nice spritzer for a long drink. For those that are cautious of sake then this for you, as it does not taste like it...for those that like sake you might be disappointed..but for those plum wine drinkers I can't recommend this enough.

Love the taste, but the price means I can't buy it often. The bottle is smaller than a regular wine bottle (50cl vs 75cl).

Very tasty plum sake.

Incredible flavour. A very sweet and fruity sake that's incredibly smooth and morish

Lovely drink

Very sweet, almost to the point of being tangy. Not for me but still decent.

Sabroso y balanceado en entrada, obviamente notas de ciruela. Enseguida se nota un dulzor demasiado elevado, pero como está pensado para ser degustado en cantidades pequeñas, aprueba. Muy recomendado como regalo original, si además añades tacitas para tomarlo ya te coronas y f. fijo (guiño, guiño)

Excellent merci

Très très bon, vraiment délicieux et plutôt sucré :) ! Un régale

Es un buen umeshu, está hecho a base de arroz como el sake, lo cual lo hace muy peculiar. Para mi gusto exageradamente dulce, mucho más que una mistela, empalaga un poco. Sabor agradable.

Très bon umeshu, mais ayant déjà goûté à d'autres, celui ci est très sucrée, pour ma part un plus doux me convient un peu plus, néanmoins celà reste un bon alcool de prune japonais
