Umeshu facts for kids
Umeshu (梅酒) is a Japanese liqueur made by steeping ume plums (while still unripe and green) in liquor (焼酎, shōchū) and sugar. It has a sweet, sour taste, and an alcohol content of 10–15%. Varieties are available with whole ume fruits contained in the bottle, and some people make their own umeshu at home.
Japanese restaurants serve many different varieties of umeshu and also make cocktails. Umeshu can be served at different temperatures; chilled or with ice, room temperature, or even hot in the winter.
Umeshu can be made either from real plum fruit, or using additive flavours and perfumes to emulate the taste of plums.
