Most umeshu is made by steeping ume plums in neutral shochu; Akashi-Tai instead uses its own ginjo sake brewed from Hyogo Yamadanishiki, the top sake rice in Japan, as the base, macerating the plums in it for six months and then aging the result for two years in enamel tanks, which is why it carries a sake's texture and depth rather than a liqueur's syrup. Shiraume means white plum, after the blossom. The brewery describes aromas of candied cherries and plums, a sweet palate of plum and almond, the almond note coming from the plum stones during the long steep, and a fresh, long finish, bottled at 14% ABV in a 500ml bottle. Serve it chilled at 5 to 15°C or on the rocks, lengthen it with soda as an aperitif, pour it alongside spicy food, over vanilla ice cream or sorbet, or sip it neat as a digestif. Yonezawa also calls it a natural cocktail ingredient, in a plum sour or in place of vermouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Akashi-Tai Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akashi-Tai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577335353600,"sku":"C0010419L","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/akashi-tai-shiraume-ginjo-umeshu_f54b1ebf-420f-49ac-b949-a87060957e37.jpg?v=1791688760","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/akashi-tai-shiraume-ginjo-umeshu-plum-sake","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
