Kishu Ume no Hatsukoi/non-alcoholic

Ume syrup with a generous amount of citric acid, made with nankobai from Wakayama, the mecca of ume growing. This is a soft drink that is sweet-sour, with an intriguingly nostalgic feel to it.

Rich in citric acid made from Kishu oume (half-ripe ume) from the nature-rich Wakayama Prefecture, this sweet-sour ume syrup can be enjoyed in various ways by everyone including children, the health-conscious elderly, frequent drinkers, and non-drinkers.

Ume cocktails

For a yogurt-like drink, mix about two tablespoons of “Ume no Hatsukoi” with 200ml of milk.
