Hakutsuru Ume Plum 720ml
About this bottle
Hakutsuru Ume Plum is a Japanese ume (plum) liqueur from Hakutsuru, a sake brewery in Kobe's Nada district that has been making rice-based alcohol since 1743. 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.
How to drink Hakutsuru Ume Plum
Serve it chilled and neat in a small glass, or lengthen it with soda water and ice for an easy, low-effort highball. It also works stirred into a simple plum sour with a squeeze of lemon.
