Nakano Kunizakari Jasmine Umeshu - 720 ml
Nakano Kunizakari Jasmine Umeshu originates from Handa City in the Aichi Prefecture of Japan. Produced by the Nakano Sake Brewery, which was founded in 1844, this liqueur is part of the "Kunizakari" brand—a name that translates to "flourishing along with the growth of Japan". The brewery is unique for operating its own agricultural site, the Kuni Zakari Farm, where employees cultivate and harvest the plums used in their beverages to ensure total quality control from soil to bottle.
Description
This specialty umeshu is a fusion of traditional Japanese plum wine and aromatic jasmine tea. It is designed to offer a "noble fragrance" while balancing the natural sweetness of the plum with the floral astringency of the tea.
Aroma: A fragrant blend of sweet plum jam and fresh jasmine blossoms, with sophisticated undertones of tobacco and tea.
Palate: On the tongue, it provides a harmonious mix of sweet and tart black plum flavors and tangy plum brandy, complemented by the delicate notes of jasmine tea and hints of almond.
Technical Profile: It has a relatively low alcohol content of 9.5% ABV. The base is made from 100% Japanese ume fruits steeped in high-quality spirits and sugar.
Accolades
World Sakagura Ranking: The brewery was ranked 10th globally in 2021 and 8th in 2020.
Traditional Craftsmanship: The brewery is recognized for combining Edo-period techniques with modern innovation, particularly in the creation of elegant fruit-based liqueurs.
Food Pairing
The versatile sweet-and-tart profile of Jasmine Umeshu makes it an excellent partner for a wide range of dishes, from light appetizers to spicy main courses.
Light Fare: Pairs beautifully with Caesar or tossed green salads, deviled eggs, and creamy dips.
Seafood: Complements poached white fish, steamed clams, and pasta dishes featuring seafood or pesto sauce.
Savory & Spicy: Its floral jasmine notes help balance the heat of spicy Asian cuisine and the richness of braised meats like rabbit.
Serving Tips: This liqueur can be enjoyed straight and chilled, on the rocks, or mixed with soda or sparkling water for a refreshing "spritz". In colder months, it can even be mixed with hot water to amplify its floral aromatics.
