Crafted using 100% Nanko ume grown in Japan's Wakayama prefecture, which have been hand-sorted and soaked in alcohol on the same day they've been harvested. A balance of initial sweetness and refreshing tartness. Enjoy as an aperitif served straight, on the rocks, or with a splash of soda. Nanko ume are widely regarded as the premier ume for making umeshu, due to their abundant flesh, soft peach-like aroma and high organic acid content. Wakayama Prefecture is the most famous region in Japan for ume production (in particular for nanko ume) due to its favourable climate.
