Kagatsuru Sake
A soft, gently sweet plum sake from Japan, stocked in Commack.
The story behind Kagatsuru
Plum sake, called umeshu in Japan, is made by steeping green ume plums in alcohol and sugar, which gives it a soft fruit character and a gentle sweetness. It is lighter and lower in alcohol than most spirits, and it drinks more like a dessert wine than a liqueur.
We keep Kagatsuru Plum Sake in a 720mL bottle here in Commack. It is a small listing for us, one or two bottles on the shelf, so ask at the counter if you want to hold one.

Which Kagatsuru is right for you?
Kagatsuru Plum Sake comes in a 720mL bottle at $33.99. That is a fair price for a plum sake you can sip over ice or mix into a spritz, and one bottle goes a long way since a little pour is usually enough. We stock only one or two at a time, so call ahead if you want one set aside.
Pours over ice for a soft, low-key after-dinner drink.
