Description:

Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu is a luxurious plum liqueur made with Shiraume, or white flower plums. The plums are preserved in the finest Ginjo sake, made from Yamadanishiki Rice. After macerating for months, the fruits are removed from the tank, and the umeshu is left to age for two and a half years. Great as a cocktail base.

History:
Like the region’s symbolic “Tai” (meaning sea bream in Japanese) that navigates the arduous straits of Akashi’s coast, our family-run brewery has survived against the fierce currents of time and change since 1856. Embodying this spirit, we persist in our commitment to producing exceptional sakes, created from local ingredients.

Pioneered by several generations, each Akashi-Tai sake is a reflection of the Yonezawa family’s undying love for their profession, now guided by our Toji, Sake Master, Kimio Yonezawa. Located in the port city of Akashi in southwest Japan, the brewery continues to produce sakes and liqueurs, as it has for over a century.
