Hoshi Plum
Two easy Japanese bottles, poured and priced for everyday tables.
The story behind Hoshi
Plum wine, called umeshu in Japan, is a fruit steeped drink rather than a grape wine. Unripe green plums soak in alcohol and sugar for months, giving a sweet, tart, low-proof pour with a soft almond edge. Sake is brewed from rice, clean and gentle, and it drinks well chilled or warmed.
We keep Hoshi Plum Wine and Hoshi Sake in Commack in small numbers, one or two bottles at a time, so call ahead before you drive over.
