Before sake, I would’ve immediately reached for white wine and it would’ve been fine, but this sake was top-notch; more than “food friendly,” it truly elevated the dish as the plum tones complemented the sherry/soy sauce umami flavors. Enjoying a restaurant-like meal at home is easier to do when you have the perfect drink to pair it with! | Photo by @thesakemom. Junmai Ginjo este un sake premium obținut din orez măcinat în proporție de aproximativ 60%, produs fără alcool adăugat, apă pură dintr-un izvor subteran, aflat în apropiere și koji (drojdie), de orez.

Băutura sake produsă de Jihei Kano, un simplu negustor de lemn din Japonia este numită Hakutsuru în anul 1747, marcând începuturile acestui brand. Numele Hakutsuru este asociat astăzi băuturii tradiționale sake, produsă în prefectura Hyōgo, orașul Kobe, și este o parte a culturii japoneze împărtășită lumii întregi. There’s no doubt that many of us who’ve never tried sake are still familiar with Kikkoman, the global producer and distributor of products across the spectrum of Asian cuisine. It makes sense, then, that they would also have an umeshu product as well. Their 12.5% ABV plum wine is rich and sweet, and has probably been the first glass of umeshu for many around the world. Hakutsuru Brewing Company Choya not only commits to quality in production but also to sustainable practices. Understanding the importance of the ume trees to both the environment and their product, they engage in responsible farming practices. Moreover, the brand emphasises responsible drinking and aims to educate consumers about enjoying their products in moderation.Sake are o tradiție lungă și cu fiecare generație perfecțiunea și precizia japoneză a oferit lumii o băutură din ce în ce mai bună, cu multe expresii oferite nu doar de tehnologie ci și de metodele inovative.

The production process is where Choya's dedication to tradition meets modern technology. The ume fruits are washed and sorted before being placed in large vats with alcohol and sugar. They are then left to steep for a period that can range from one year to multiple years, depending on the product. During this time, the plums slowly release their flavour and natural acidity into the liquid, transforming it into umeshu. The level of alcohol remaining in the final product depends to an extent on the type of alcohol used to produce the drink. When umeshu is made from shochu, which is the most common base, the alcohol present in the umeshu can be as high as 20%. Umeshu made from ume soaked in sake can have an alcohol percentage as low as 9%. (This is the type Tippsy carries.) Most beer falls below this range, while most wines fall within this range. Distilled spirits like whiskey and vodka are much higher in alcohol than plum wine. Is plum wine healthy?

Umeshu strictly translated is “ume alcohol.” The “shu” part of umeshu can refer to any type of alcohol, from whisky to sake to wine, so importers and marketers settled on the use of “wine” in its place — perhaps to convey the fruity flavor that is so much a part of what makes it enjoyable. The reason that umeshu is not plum wine is that wine is fermented, and umeshu is not strictly a fermented beverage. It has the most in common with liqueurs, in that it is flavored with fruit (ume) and has an alcohol base, as well as prominent sweetness as part of its flavor profile. Umeshu is made in Japan from various alcohol bases, unripened ume (Prunus mume) and, usually, sugar. Very few are made through the fermentation of ume juice, however one example is Hakutsuru “Plum Wine.” GUST:Aromele de flori sunt acum atenuate de cele fructate din prune și minerale din alge. Aromele ne reamintesc de un sake tradițional prin gustul din pudră de orez, coriandru, piper și puțin răculeț. Post gust rafinat și tare.

One of six principles held closely by Sawanotsuru is “Sake is not something to make but to nurture.” Made of 100% Nanko Ume from Wakayama Prefecture (the finest plums in all of Japan) and brewed with Miyamizu (one of the three famous water sources of Japan), you can experience their nurturing style in this plum sake.
