What is Umeshu (梅酒): A Sweet and Sour Japanese Favourite🍹

August 5, 2024 Melissa da Costa

Have you tried Umeshu yet? 🤤 If not, you're in for a treat!

Umeshu (梅酒) is a traditional Japanese beverage crafted by steeping unripe green ume plums in shōchū (焼酎) and sugar.

The result is a delightful drink that's both sweet and sour, making it much more approachable than shōchū or the better-known nihonshū (日本酒) (often called sake in English-speaking regions).

Versatile Serving Options 🍶

One of the joys of Umeshu is its versatility. You can enjoy it chilled or over ice during the warmer months, or at room temperature. In the winter, savour it hot to warm you up from the inside out.

Japanese restaurants offer a variety of Umeshu drinks and cocktails. Some umeshu cocktail combinations to try at home include:

- Umeshu on the Rocks: Simple and refreshing.

- Umeshu Tonic: A fizzy delight with tonic water.

- Umeshu Soda: A bubbly treat with carbonated water.

- Umeshu with Green Tea: A unique blend of flavours.

- Hot Umeshu: Perfect for a cosy night in. 🍵

Perfect Pairings

Pair your Umeshu with a selection of delicious snacks to enhance your tasting experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply curious about trying something new, Umeshu is a fantastic choice.
