Have you ever tried umeshu in Japan?🇯🇵 In addition to beer, sake, whiskey, and wine, umeshu is another must-try drink in Japan. Made from Japanese plums, this liqueur is known for its sweetness and relatively smooth taste, making it an easy drink for many. However, be careful not to overindulge—it’s surprisingly easy to drink more than you realize! Interestingly, many Japanese people make umeshu at home. The process is simple: plums are sealed in a container with alcohol and left to age. The longer it's stored, the richer and deeper the flavor becomes. Some even say that the best umeshu is the one you've forgotten about for years. Personally, I have a batch aging, and I’m looking forward to the day I finally open it. Next time you visit Japan, be sure to try umeshu at an izakaya or bar—you won’t regret it! Follow us for more Japan travel tips🇯🇵
