Daishichi “Kimoto” Plum
Fukushima prefecture
Ume fruit perfection
An umeshu (plum wine) that uses ume fruit straight from Wakayama, known for having the best. The nectar is soaked in kimoto junmai sake full of umami to harmonize with the refreshing acidity. Try this one chilled by itself first, then experiment with adding crushed ice or carbonated water. Daishichi “Kimoto” Plum pirouettes and glides between tart and sweet like a skilled dancer, and leave you salivating for more.

Daishichi Brewing Company
Daishichi Brewing Company is located in the castle town of Nihonmatsu, and was founded in 1752 by Saburoemon Ohta, originally from a samurai family. Daishichi means “Big Seven,” and comes from the hereditary name of consecutive family heads Shichiemon. Daishichi makes rich, mellow sake with an outstanding reputation in the orthodox kimoto brewing method, in which they specialize. The numerous accolades, won both nationally and internationally, can perhaps be attested to master brewer Takanobu Sato’s perfectionist ways. Their sake is exceptionally balanced and is food friendly to any portion of a meal, from any part of the world.
