Umeshu Plum Wine is my favourite drink. I am not a regular drinker but when I pick something to drink socially, Umeshu Plum wine is the one. It is often served as an aperitif at Japanese restaurant and staple drink menu at Izakaya Tavern because this plum wine has an increasing appetite effect!
What is Umeshu Plum Wine?
Ume is plum and shu means alcohol so Umeshu literally means plum wine. It is made from unripe green ume plum fruits, rock sugar and liquor. It is a popular drink menu among Japanese woman because it’s refreshing and has a sweet fruit flavour. Choya is well known for various plum wine products and is a popular brand in Japan. It is easy to make at home. So let’s make plum wine together!
