Takara Plum is a rich, sweet and aromatic plum wine liqueur suitable as an aperitif or dessert pairing. Try swapping it with vermouth or sherry in a cocktail recipe.

About Ume: The plum flavor used is based on the distinct tart flavor of special Japanese “ume” plums. The ume tree is a deciduous tree native to East Asia. It is closely related to both the plum and the apricot, though it has unique characteristics that distinguish it from these species.

The ume tree is celebrated for its fragrant blossoms, which bloom in late winter or early spring, often before the tree's leaves appear. These blossoms can be white, pink, or red, making the tree a cultural symbol of resilience, renewal, and beauty in East Asian traditions.

The tree produces a fruit called ume, which resembles a small apricot. The ume fruit is typically very tart and is rarely eaten fresh.
