Ninki Umeshu is a traditional Japanese liqueur made from ume fruit, sugar, and shochu or sake. The ume fruit, also known as Japanese plum or apricot, is steeped in alcohol and sugar for an extended period to extract its sweet and tangy flavors. This process results in a smooth and fruity liqueur with a balanced sweetness that is enjoyed as an aperitif or digestif.
Ninki Umeshu typically has a lower alcohol content compared to other spirits, ranging from 10% to 15% ABV. It is often served chilled over ice or mixed with soda water for a refreshing summer drink. The unique combination of flavors in Ninki Umeshu makes it a versatile ingredient in cocktails or can be enjoyed on its own as a delightful after-dinner treat.
