Tozai Blossoms of Peace Plum-Aodani
Plum blossoms are known as "The Flowers of Peace" in Japan and make their appearance in early Spring, a season which symbolizes a time of growth, renewal, and physical and spiritual awakening. With Tozai "Blossom of Peace", we've made it possible to experience this peaceful rejuvenation all year!
While most plum wine or sake is made with shochu, fermented plums, or grapes with plum flavors added, this is the only "ume-shu" crafted with premium Japanese sake and the region's highest quality ripe green plums, or "shiro-kaga". The plums are soaked in sake for over three months to achieve a rich, sweet aroma and subtle plum flavors.

"Pale golden color. Aromas of floral ume, cherry rice candy, and apricot marmalade follow through on a round, silky entry to a rich fruity medium body with nice depth and tangy acidity. Finishes with a long cherry lozenge and coconut milk accented fade. A nice choice for cocktail ingredient or sip with a sparkling wine."

Tasting Notes
This is a semi-sweet sake with ample aromas of almond and marzipan. Perfectly ripe plum flavors dominate the palate while the smooth, slightly sweet, and lip-smacking long finish ensures you'll want another sip or glass!
