Tsukushi Green Tea Umeshu

The producer of Green Tea Umeshu is Nishiyoshida Shuzo, based in Fukuoka Prefecture. The alcoholic basis of the umeshu is the finest Honkaku barley shochu, which the company has been producing in a long tradition since 1887. The yamecha tea is added to the first mash (moromi) of the shochu, fermented and then distilled. The ume fruits are then added to the shochu. The refreshing acidity and aroma of the ume harmonize perfectly with the taste and astringency of the green tea. Umeshu is also one of Japan's most popular alcohol specialties. In recent years, more and more variants have appeared on the market, such as this special umeshu with green tea.

Tsukushi Umeshu can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. It also tastes great with soda (1:1) and is also a great component for cocktails.

Important note: As filtration is kept to a minimum so that the aroma component does not escape, the Umeshu may be slightly cloudy. Please shake well before use. The product contains tea, for this reason color changes are possible after opening. This in no way affects the taste or quality of this product. After opening, please store in the refrigerator.

Nishiyoshida was founded in 1887 and is based in Chikugo City in Fukuoka Prefecture. After Saga, the prefecture is Japan's second largest barley producer. The barley is of high quality and aromatic as it grows on volcanic soil. The region is also blessed with the water of the Chikogu River, which is particularly pure, soft and mild. Nishiyoshida is a company steeped in tradition, for which modernity is very important alongside tradition. This is why new techniques are constantly being used to optimize shochu production and achieve ever better taste experiences. Nishiyoshida's mission is to put a smile on its customers' faces with every sip of its products. The company succeeds in doing this very well.
