Homemade Plum Wine Set (with Ripe Plums) – Craft Your Own Japanese Fruit Liqueur [13th ~ 21st June Delivery]

Important Notes:
・Once you receive your plums, please store them in the refrigerator immediately and begin making your umeshu as soon as possible.
・If the plums ripen too much and become overly soft, they may disintegrate during the soaking process. To avoid this, prompt refrigeration and early preparation are strongly recommended.

Description
Make your own fragrant, rich umeshu at home using Ripe Nanko Ume—Japan’s most prized variety of plum, known for its soft texture and natural sweetness.

This set includes everything you need to start brewing your own plum wine. Just add your favorite liquor (such as shochu, brandy, or sake with 20% ABV or higher), and enjoy the deepening flavor over time.

A wonderful way to enjoy the taste of Japanese summer—made by you, aged to perfection.

For the best result, we highly recommend pairing this set with a special sake made by Naeba Shuzo (Niigata), crafted specifically for fruit liqueurs.
Its clean, dry profile and delicate umami highlight the flavor of the plums without overpowering them. It’s also smooth and enjoyable on its own.

①Nanko Ume (Ripe): 1kg
