Umeshu is a sweet and fragrant Japanese liqueur made by steeping unripe ume fruits (Japanese plums) in shochu or neutral alcohol with rock sugar. The result is a golden, syrupy beverage with a balanced flavor that’s sweet, tangy, and fruity, often served chilled, on the rocks, with soda water, or even warmed in winter. Traditionally enjoyed as a dessert drink or aperitif, Umeshu is widely loved for its smoothness, low alcohol content (10–15%), and accessibility to those new to Japanese alcohol.
