Conventional umeshu, or plum liqueur, is made by preserving Japanese ume plums in distilled spirits. However, Shiraume is a luxurious plum liqueur made by preserving plums in the finest of Japanese sakes
- premium ginjo sake made from Yamada Nishiki rice. In Shiraume, the mild flavour of brewed sake nurtured to perfection blends harmoniously with the fruity flavour of ume plums. No sharp tang of alcohol mars the finish to the palate, as sometimes happens with conventional plum liqueurs. Since ancient times & even in Japan today, plum liqueur has long been considered a therapeutic drink. Shiraume can be enjoyed in many ways
- it is equally pleasant on ice or blended with either cold or hot water.

Dark garnet colour with a crimson edge in a deep plummy hue. The first aroma from this wine gives a hint to the depth & complexity that lies beneath, hidden for now in the glass.

The palate opens with intense fruit concentration over a powerful tannin core. There are layers of textural phenolics pushed up against fruit plushness which impress & excite. A fine line of acidity ensures this wine will have a long & exciting evolution in front of it. ...

Brassy, rose-gold with a faint green hue & a platinum fleck. Lots happening on the nose: river rock minerality, rose petals, Turkish delight, very slight wild herbs, & a hint of sourdough & brioche. There is a bouquet of red fruits entwined with ripe golden queen peaches & musk sticks. Its evocative & multi-dimensional. The intensity on the palate impresses: dry & savoury but full of textural depth. The interplay between acid & phenolics reminds you of that attribute in fine Nebbiolo, that leads to complex florals, particularly roses but some cherry blossom adding sedimentary depth. But you cannot escape the musk, with a hint of cinnamon apricot kernel. The finish is long & dry with a distinctive crunch on the exit. Its edgy yet resolved, exciting yet calm. ...
