Umeshu is probably one of Japan's most traditional alcoholic specialties. Every family has its own secret recipe for it. Ume is often referred to as a plum, but botanically speaking it is a type of apricot. Only Benisashi ume is used for Kaga Umeshu. This particular variety only grows in Kanazawa City (Ishikawa Prefecture) and in neighboring Fukui Prefecture. "Beni" means "red" and "sashi" means "shining". The name therefore stands for the deep red and radiant color of the ripe ume. The ripe fruits of Benisashi Ume have more amino acids than other types of high-quality Ume (Nankounai Ume). Due to the higher proportion of amino acids, benisashi ume has a milder aroma and an intense umami flavor. Kaga Umeshu is produced using a traditional technique. It matures for two years in steel tanks and has a clear and rich ume flavor.

Manzairaku Kaga Umeshu has already won several awards and is served on all first-class flights operated by ANA (All Nippon Airways), among others. It has also been served as a digestif at the Nobel Prize reception.

This Umeshu is an ideal aperitif and digestif and can be enjoyed neat, on ice or with soda. The Kaga Umeshu also works very well in cocktails.
