Local, all-natural aodani plums are soaked in Tozai sake for over three months resulting in an incredibly balanced sake with tart, juicy acidity on the finish. Plum blossoms are known as "The Flowers of Peace" in Japan and symbolize growth, renewal, and awakening.
Aromas of almond and marzipan followed by plum, apricot, and cherry on the palate. The soft tartness and acidity balance the finish with a slightly sweet smoothness.
Pair with pulled pork, glazed salmon, or desserts like peach cobbler.

this is the only "ume-shu" crafted with premium Japanese sake and the region's highest quality ripe green plums, or "shiro-kaga". The plums are soaked in sake for over three months to achieve a rich, sweet aroma and subtle plum flavors.
