About this bottle
Discover the luscious balance of sweet-tart Japanese ume fruit and artisan rice craftsmanship in Kagatsuru Plum Sake, bottled at 720mL. Produced in Ishikawa Prefecture, this umeshu begins with a silky Junmai sake base fermented from premium Yamada-nishiki rice and pure mountain water. Whole Nanko plums are macerated for months, allowing natural juices and delicate almond-like pits to impart seductive aromas of ripe apricot, wild honey, and spring blossoms. On the palate, expect a velvety wave of golden plum nectar, nuanced by notes of marzipan, white peach, and a refreshing citrus lift that finishes bright, never cloying. Serve lightly chilled in your favorite wine glass after dinner, over ice on a warm Long Island evening, or as a creative cocktail mixer with sparkling water. Kagatsuru’s moderate 12% ABV makes it a versatile indulgence alongside creamy cheeses, dark chocolate, or spicy Asian cuisine.
Available for local Long Island delivery, in-store pickup, and shipping to the states where it is legal, confirmed at checkout. Elevate the experience with a handsome wine gift box, add custom bottle engraving for that special someone, or stock up by the case for your next celebration.

The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Ripe green plum and a whisper of almond skin, with steamed rice and a faint floral note underneath. Clean and lifted, not candied.
Palate
Silky and light-bodied, the ume arrives first with bright tartness, then a gentle sweetness that never turns thick. Rice gives a soft backbone, and the acidity keeps everything lively.
Finish
Crisp and refreshing, with plum skin and a clean rice note that fades slowly. Not syrupy at all.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Chill it well, around 45 to 50 degrees, in a small wine glass or a chilled sake cup. Pour over a single large ice cube if you want it leaner and more refreshing. Keep the bottle in the fridge after opening and drink within a couple of weeks. A splash of soda stretches it nicely without losing the plum.
