UMESHU



Hi! How are you?

It's extremely hot at the moment.

I feel as if I'm going to melt.......:(

I often drink a little Umeshu with ice after work and before I go to bed on hot nights like these.

It helps me forget this heat:)

Umeshu is a Japanese alcohol drink made from Japanese UME (plum),sugar and shochu or sake.

Umeshu has a mild, fruity flavor that makes it easy for anyone to drink!

My mother used to make it at home.

Umeshu is ready to drink 6 months after the plums and sugar have been mixed together.

When I was a child, I used to taste the UMESHU after just 1 or 2 month to check whether it was good or not.

Of course it was sour and awful.

I’m looking forward to drinking it tonight, too!

Have a good night!!
