The story behind Takara
Plum sake, called umeshu in Japan, is a fruit liqueur made by steeping green ume plums in alcohol and sugar. It drinks soft and sweet, low in alcohol, with a gentle tartness behind the sweetness. Serve it chilled, over ice, or cut with soda water.
We keep Takara Plum in two sizes at our Commack shop, the 750mL and the 1.5L. It is a small allocation, so it comes and goes. Call ahead and we will tell you what is on the shelf.
