UMESHU

500ml | 20% Alc

Umeshu is a traditional Japanese liqueur made by steeping unripe, green plums in a clear spirit with sugar. It typically has a sweet and sour flavour with an alcohol percentage of around 20%. 

Two Cape Town based alcohol producers, Tanuki and Pienaar & Son, decided to harness the essence of this Japanese classic by creating a unique South African Plum Liqueur. 

A balance of tartness and sweetness from locally grown plums, made to the traditional Umeshu style and aged for a full 6 months in Cape Town.

This South African Umeshu is truly a unique and exclusive opportunity to experience something new to us, old to the world and still incredibly relevant in its beautiful profile of complex simplicity.

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.

At first I bought 1 bottle. Little did I know that it would be finished in one sitting... I had no choice but to buy 6 more haha.

I've had the pleasure of consuming Umeshu in Japan and I can honestly say that this product is almost identical. A beautiful drink that I am glad is available locally!

I loved it so much. It’s pity the bottle wasn't a 2L. Lol.

I order six bottles every year just to make sure I don’t run out before the next drop.

Umeshu is such an unexpected and seriously cool gift. The bottle looks so good you don’t even need to wrap it!

There are only 3 things my fussy husband drinks. Beer, whiskey and Umeshu! Well done on an exceptional release, you've outdone yourself.
