Wakayama prefecture is the plum heartland of Japan. This brew has used three times more plums than a typical Umeshu. The particular plum used here is called Nankobai. Its skin is soft and the fruit itself is thick and juicy; one of the best quality plums in Japan. The richness is balanced by an incredible acidity that keeps this from feeling overly sweet. Concentrated and delicious, it's one of the most overtly appealling products made anywhere in the world.
