Hakutsuru Umeshu Genshu (70cl)

Hakutsuru Umeshu Genshu is a Japanese plum liqueur from the Hakutsuru Sake Brewing company, founded in Kobe in 1743. It is made by macerating ume, fruit with an aroma somewhere between plum and apricot. Genshu marks a concentrated, undiluted style, which keeps more intensity and richness. The nose is fragrant, with apricot and yellow peach, along with almond, honey and white flowers. The palate is soft, velvety and juicy, the sweetness of ripe fruit balanced by a gentle tartness. The finish is long, fruity and harmonious.
