About Umeshu Tonic Ingredients

Umeshu: A liqueur made by soaking plums in distilled liquors such as white liquor, shochu, and brandy. It has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and even those who do not like alcohol can enjoy drinking it like juice.

Tonic water: It is made by adding extracts from citrus peels and sugar content to carbonated water or soda pop, and has both a refreshing and bittersweet taste.

Aromatic bitters: Bitter liqueur made primarily from the bark of the angostura (tangerine tree). When we simply call it Angostura bitters, we are referring to it. Just a few drops can add depth to the flavor.
