Hakutsuru Umeshu Genshu alc 19.5% 300ml 白鶴梅酒原酒

Winner of the Monde Selection Awards for achieving a high level of quality in 3 consecutive years. This plum sake (umeshu) is made from 100% Kishu plums with no added water or chemicals for a clean, undiluted taste. It has a good balance between sweet and acidity with a full-bodied structure.

Using selected Japanese plums, "Ume", Hakutsuru Plum Wine has been produced with highly developed fermentation skill and technique. It is characterized by its refreshing semi-sweet, sour flavor and well-ripened plum fruit aroma.
Hakutsuru Sake Brewing Company was founded in 1743, in the midst of Japan's Edo period. Records show that the company started with a single brewery and had a total production volume of 32 kiloliters. The name "Hakutsuru" has a long tradition, first coming into use in 1747, four years after the company was founded.

In those days, many sake brands were used in common, such as Masamune or Tsuru, and it was difficult to tell which brewery a sake came from by its name. To make the distinction clear, we originally named our premium sake "Hakutsuru" (meaning "white crane") to distinguish it. The reserved nature and graceful appearance of the Japanese crane, and the cultural association of seeing the crane in flight as a sign of auspiciousness, make the crane an ideal symbol to represent the excellent quality of our sake.
