Jinyu “Nigori Umeshu”
Chiba prefecture
Sweet and tart delight
The brewery maximizes the potential of the ume fruit, even using the pulp to make this sake cloudy. A little goes a long way for this sweet and tart sake-based treat, so enjoy it on the rocks, cut with soda or straight, either chilled or at room temperature. The maker recommends it with Doritos, potato chips and other salty snacks. Available in limited quantities.
