The sake-lees shochu gives the liqueur a light and clean texture, while preserving the original concept of avoiding excessive sweetness. By deliberately restraining the sweetness, the fresh and refreshing acidity of the plums becomes more prominent, creating a light, crisp, and approachable flavor profile that is particularly enjoyable during the hot summer months. Recommended serving styles include On the Rocks or neat. When mixing with soda water, it is best to begin with a slightly stronger concentration and gradually adjust the ratio to personal preference, allowing the balance between the light character of the sake-lees shochu and the refreshing acidity of the plums to be appreciated more fully.
“Abe Ume” is a plum liqueur made with Abe’s own sake-lees shochu as its base. It revisits the concept of a plum liqueur introduced at “Sake no Jin” approximately eight to nine years ago, which was very well received at the time, and reinterprets it in an even fresher, cleaner, and more refreshing style.
