Urakasumi Umeshu
浦霞 梅酒
£45.00 per item
An umeshu (plum liqueur) with a refreshing tartness along with a gentle sweetness produced in Miyagi Prefecture.
This umeshu (plum liqueur) is well balanced with acidity, ume (Japanese plum) flavour and texture, giving a refreshing tartness accompanying a gentle sweetness.
Urakasumi Umeshu is produced from ume grown in Miyagi Prefecture, unprocessed junmai sake (sake made from rice, water and kōji, grain that is inoculated with fermentation culture, without added alcohol) brewed by Urakasumi brewery and sugar. It has notes of almond, marzipan and amaretto, so it is fit for desserts and accompanying sweet, rich foods such as Foie gras and dark chocolate. Recommended ways of drinking Urakasumi Umeshu are on the rocks, with crushed ice or soda.
Best served chilled or room temperature.

Tōhoku
Tōhoku consists of six prefectures located in the north-east of Honshu island. This region is known for its hot spring (onsen) resorts, colourful festivals, remote sacred mountains and harsh winters. In 2011, the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the region hard; however, the massive efforts in reconstruction are proof of the people’s resilience. Urushi (lacquer) ware, ironware and the crafting of kokeshi dolls make up but a few of the local industries in this lesser-visited region of Japan.
