It’s undeniably frightening, absolutely uncommon, and what exactly is it? Well, behold the Umeshu, also known as plum sake. This particular sake follows the traditional Junmai sake-making process, with the addition of ume or plum essences towards the end of brewing. While most Umeshu utilizes a spirit called shochu, this variation opts for sake, which adds to its appeal. But hold on, there’s an added twist! This Umeshu, dubbed the “Hot Devil,” boasts a delightful combination of sweetness, sourness, and spiciness. It offers a wholly distinctive and invigorating drinking experience, perfect for enjoying chilled or with a single ice cube.
