Raifuku - Umeshu Plum Suke (720ml)
This exquisite liqueur transcends expectations, offering a remarkably elegant and restrained expression of plum sake. Hailing from Ibaraki prefecture and crafted by Raifuku Shuzo, this is a must-try for adventurous palates and lovers of nuanced flavors.
Aromas of sweet apricot mingle with a touch of warming cinnamon, inviting further exploration. The palate is medium-bodied and off-dry, showcasing notes of wild strawberry that dance on the tongue. A delightful tartness emerges on the finish, creating a refreshingly balanced experience.
Raifuku Umeshu utilizes high-grade ume fruit, macerated in a premium sake base. Unlike many commercially available plum wines, this liqueur avoids distilled alcohol and relies solely on natural fermentation. A touch of rock sugar adds subtle sweetness, allowing the vibrant flavors of the ume to take center stage. Furthermore, aging for two years in the bottle allows the flavors to deepen and harmonize, creating a truly sophisticated sipping experience.
