THE UMESHU EXPERIENCE
Some plums rise, some rest. Each one infuses rich flavour into every bottle, day after day!
TART
Green, unripe ume plums give Umeshu its sharp, refreshing acidity!
SWEET
Delicate and layered sweetness follows. Enough to soften the tartness, but not overpower it.
FRAGRANT
A gentle lift of stone fruit and blossom, think apricot skins and almond flowers!
UMAMI
Slow steeping brings out a soft savoury roundness. It lingers, deepens and turns a simple sip into something beautifully complex.

FROM PLUM TO POUR
How a centuries-old Japanese recipe came to life in Cape Town!

JUNE
2024
Planted in Paarl
Young ume trees were put into the ground on a local family farm, marking the start of 2025’s Umeshu journey.

NOVEMBER
2024
Harvested in Paarl
The plums are picked unripe to lock in tartness and depth - ideal for honouring a Japanese tradition in a South African way!

DECEMBER
2024
Steeped
at P&S
In collaboration with Tanuki, we used traditional Umeshu methods to steep the plums slowly and craft something truly one of a kind.

JANUARY
2025
Aged for 6 months
The spirit is steeped for 6 months, then bottled with a whole plum inside that continues to infuse flavour over time.

JUNE
2025
Ready
to Sip!
Sweet, tart and beautifully complex. Umeshu is rooted in tradition, remarkable in flavour, and ready to be enjoyed!
