  1. The problem with developing an appreciation for “the good stuff” is costs are non-linear.

    I discovered the 3 year at a saké tasting. It is considerably more complex, thicker and with a more intense fruit flavor than the single year.

    Either one is tame compared to the umeshu my mother-in-law used to make, though. It was like 40% ABV, age measured in decades, and a *massive* kick in the keister. I'm pretty sure I have some stashed away, but I'm not convinced it isn't toxic.

  2. Might as well try last year's pseudo umeshu while I'm squeezing these plums. It's pretty tasty, sweet, tart and definitely boozy.

  3. Thanks to a suggestion from @sumisu3 I decided to give Umeshu a shot with some of my unripe plums. I used 1kg plums, .5kg sugar and topped this ~2L jar up with ~45% white brandy. I'll make sure it's fully topped up once all the sugar has dissolved and then I guess I gotta wait a year.

  4. ~ with an elegant umeshu from Urakasumi. Golden pink in colour, with intense flavours of marzipan, juicy and tart plum fruit, a hint of ripe apricot… One of the best! 🌟🍹

  5. 🎞️ Red Peony Gambler 6: Oryu’s Return / 緋牡丹博徒 お竜参上 (1970) x 🍶 Torotoro no Umeshu (Hanafuda)

    The Queen of Ninkyo is back! 👑🎴 And to watch Junko Fuji set things right in the Tokyo theatre world: a delicious Umeshu (plum wine)!

    This Umeshu has a pleasant sharpness and a thick, textured consistency, which compliments the deep Nishiyoshino plum flavour.
