UME

Hello there!
This is Masa from J-Hoppers Hiroshima.

We are having Tokasan Festival (one of the three biggest festivals in Hiroshima) last three days. There were lots of people wearing Yukata (summer kimono) and it made me feel like summer has come.

The other day, our regular guest sent us a box with full of UME (plums).

So I tried to make my first UMESHU (Japanese plum liqueur)

And I made it !!!

I really enjoyed making it and the sweet scent.

There were lots of steps, but pretty simple and easy.

It should be ready to drink in a few months... Can't wait it!

Soon the rainy reason is arriving in Japan, then summer is just around the corner.

I hope everyone have a lovely summer! :)
