Nakano Kunizakari Lavender Umeshu - 720 ml
Nakano Kunizakari Lavender Umeshu originates from Handa City in the Aichi Prefecture of Japan. Nakano Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. was established in 1844 and has continued a legacy of traditional sake brewing for over 180 years. The brewery is renowned for growing plums at its own Kuni Zakari Farm and is currently led by President Masami Nakano, maintaining a philosophy of 'creating a rich food culture through Japanese sake'.
Description
This specialty umeshu is handcrafted by infusing 100% Japanese ume plums with real lavender to create a noble and soothing fragrance. The aromatic profile is defined by a sweet floral bouquet with distinctive hints of mint. On the palate, it delivers elegant flavours of ripe plum, apple, and citrus, which are complemented by sweet herbaceous and earthy notes. The body is smooth and well balanced, leading to a lingering finish that harmonizes fruity sweetness with delicate lavender essence. It has an alcohol content of 9% to 9.5%.
Food Pairing
The floral and fruity characteristics of this lavender umeshu make it an excellent accompaniment to fresh Japanese cuisine such as sushi and sashimi. It serves as a refreshing aperitif and can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or mixed with sparkling water to balance the richness of fried dishes. For a dessert pairing, it complements fruit tarts or creamy sweets that highlight its sweet herbaceous notes. It is also highly versatile as a cocktail base, particularly when paired with ingredients like gin, lime, or mint to create a unique Umeshu Mojito.
