Darumamasamune Vintagekoshu Umeshu Heisei9nen 1997nen

This 1997 vintage umeshu combines Fukui Prefecture Benisashi plums and rock sugar with aged sake from the same year. The koshu base, aged at room temperature in the earthen-walled Gifu storehouse, provides the mellow, non-sticky sweetness that, according to the brewery, gives this style its sense of extension without the heaviness typical of liquor-based plum wines.
