Kiuchi Umeshu Japanese Sour Plum Highball RTD

Item # 44439 355 mL

Using the hopped whiskey Hitachino Nest as a base, Kiuchi then infuses it with the famous Japanese liqueur made from sour plums called Umeshu to create this carbonated ready to drink cocktail in a can. The balance between sweet and sour, ripe and refreshing hits just right for irresistible drinking experience that branches out from many of the typical rtds out there. Highly recommended.

Staff Pick Notes

It's in the name, RTD, ready to drink but is it really like pop it open and take a chug? For one thing you better at least get it chilled and even then I'm not sure if you gonna want to drink this on its own. Don't get me wrong, this is delicious but some zhuzhing is in order. A better name might be already mixed cocktail cause this definitely simplifies things. Over ice with a twist of citrus would be my preferred zhuzhing but feel free to experiment. Umeboshi is a type of very sour salty preserved plum, this leaves out the salt to lend a delightful fruity sourness that mixes great with the whiskey and sparkling water of the classic highball.
