Did you know? Ohako means my favourite in Japanese!

The plum used is freshly picked kojiro plum from Saga prefecture.
So by mixing these two brilliant ingredients, you have this fresh, sour and sweet flavour!

As you know, the plum harvesting season is limited (from June - July) so this Ohako Umeshu Fresh is a limited edition!

Brew from the famous brewery Beniotome founded in 1978 in Fukuoka prefecture, Japan.
Known for its rich nature and history, Beniotome brewery uses spring water from the Mino Mountains for sake brewing. With the influence of western liquor, Beniotome brewery carefully crafted sesame shochu to create a fragrant liquor that is on par with western liquor on a national level.

The reason for using sesame is because of its health benefits and rich aroma. Hence, by adding roasted sesame to barley shochu, this special sweet scented shochu is created. Words have it that the world’s first distilled liquor made from sesame seeds is from this brewery!

Normally breweries use distiller shochu, but here for the umeshu they use their signature sesame shochu to achieve a better form and to stand out from other umeshu!

This umeshu is on a thicker side compared to other umeshu. Even with the high level of alcohol in it, the taste of plum will be most noticeable! Best to share amongst friends and family who love plum! This taste freshly of plum taste with the sour and sweet flavour to it!
