Tasting Notes: An unfiltered Umeshu (plum sake) made with Daiginjo grade sake. It contains a generous amount of Ume fruit - not only the juice, but the fruit as well. The unfiltered aspect is from that plummy pulp, which lends a higher viscosity and depth than would be possible in most other Umeshu.
