Description

Discover the refined allure of DASSAI UME-SHU '23', a Japanese plum liqueur from Asahi Shuzo that captures the essence of Wakayama Prefecture's prized Nanko plums. This creation draws on their celebrated Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo sake, resulting in a 720 ml bottle of 8% ABV nectar at 27 on the sweetness scale, perfect for those exploring not sparkling varieties.

Pour a glass and admire its pale golden color kissed by a faint pink glow, a visual promise of the fresh plums within.
