Shimeharitsuru Umeshu is a well-regarded plum liqueur, praised for its soft, clean finish and smooth, sweet-yet-sour flavor profile from steeping plums in sake rather than a distilled spirit. It is noted for being easy to drink and versatile, pairing well with a variety of foods like nuts, cheese, and fried chicken, or enjoyed chilled, on the rocks, or as a mixer. The "clean and enjoyable finish" is attributed to the brand's use of soft water.
