Kikusui 9 Years Aged Koshu Nigori Umeshu 20% 720ml

Kikusui 9 Years Aged Koshu Nigori Umeshu is a premium Japanese plum liqueur that has been aged for nine years, resulting in an exceptionally rich, deep flavour and thick, textured body. It’s crafted from ripe ume plums and retains abundant plum pulp (nigori), giving a vibrant fruit presence with a long, satisfying finish. Its concentrated sweetness and mellow complexity make it ideal as an after-dinner sip, a dessert pairing, or mixed with soda/ice for a refreshing twist after a meal.
