Turkish sour plums – A reader in Europe got them from a Turkish market and used them in this recipe. He said his umeshu tasted as good as the one he had in Japan! My mission is to make sake with character. Joyfully exuberant, generous and open-hearted sake. Sake with depth, with flavour and aroma that lingers. Enough to silence the table as that flavour keeps developing. Sake that can reveal the character of Hyogo’s water, rice and yeasts, among the finest in Japan, and really let them shine. Sake that makes every gathering a celebration of the simple joy of a shared meal. Sake that will pair up with your favourite food and dance. And yet, as you plan your trip to Japan, it would be unforgivable if you didn’t at least sample this refined, traditional beverage. In the lines below, you will find everything you need to know about the umeshu tradition, including its rich history, what are the best brands that sell it, and how you can brew your very own Japanese plum wine at home.

I'm sure you'll agree that nothing screams Christmas like Plum Sake. What? You've never even heard of Plum Sake?!! Fair enough, nor had I until a few years ago, but now, along with Bing Crosby, Burgundy, and Star Wars Lego, it's on my Christmas essentials list. This sweet plum liqueur has a lovely fruity tang, stopping it from being in any way cloying. It also has some lovely almond notes and just one sip can elevate even the most glorious of mince pies to previously unimagined levels of gastronomic glory! While you are at it, their beverage selection is to die for. And you will find several sake and Umeshu wines, many kinds of fruit wines, and even several varieties of the traditional shochu drink. The beverages are also made with a signature touch with a hint of special spices like sesame, chestnut, and other ingredients. Break out from your boring old Umeshu tour, and taste the heritage of Japan in this restaurant with your friends and family.

In brewing its select sakes, Akashi Sake Brewery uses only the finest ingredients, which are all produced locally. For example, the company uses the yamada-nishiki variety of rice "a superior strain" grown in the region just north of Akashi City.The bottle’s hue shows off the whole, green plums inside; and upon observing the texture of the plums, one might be reminded of an unusual, wrinkly olive. But don’t be mistaken and don’t be foolish to dismiss the luscious plums inside! When you pour, you’ll see that the sake also exhibits a light amber shade, and when you taste it, you’ll want more! With just the right amount of sweet, sour and tart, this works well as a “bridge” sake for beginners.
