Ume plums are steeped in a rice-based spirit with sugar until the fruit's tartness and the alcohol soften into a rounded, sweet-tart liqueur with soft floral notes underneath. It's meant to be approachable rather than intense — lighter and sweeter than most spirits on the shelf, closer in spirit to a fruit wine than a whiskey or gin. The 720ml bottle suits both everyday sipping and gift-giving. It's a good entry point for anyone curious about Japanese plum liqueur who isn't looking for something high-proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Hakutsuru Ume Plum\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it chilled and neat in a small glass, or lengthen it with soda water and ice for an easy, low-effort highball.

It's brewed from rice and rice koji milled to a 70% polish ratio, with no added alcohol or sugar. The result is light-bodied and soft, opening with honey and roasted nut aromas before moving into pear, a touch of dark chocolate, and a clean grapefruit-tinged finish. Rather than one 720ml bottle, this comes as five individual 200ml cups, each ready to drink straight from the container with no glass or pouring needed.

It's brewed from rice milled to a 70% polish ratio and left coarsely filtered rather than clarified, which is what gives nigori its signature cloudy appearance and thicker, creamier texture. The flavor leans sweet, with notes of white grape and a hint of cherry blossom running through a soft, floral profile that's easy to drink even for people new to sake. At 12.5% ABV, it's gentle enough to serve alongside food or on its own.
