This zesty and aromatic bottle ume, or Japanese Plums, resulting in a drink that awakens the senses with a distinctly far eastern flavour. As for food pairing, it’s as happy with lemon chicken dishes as it is with fruit-based desserts, and will also work very well with roasted vegetables or anything with nuts.
