■Blended with two different aging methods using Kosuge-mura plums Blending the barrel-aged plum wine released last year with the fresh aroma of newly pickled plums from last year, two different aging methods were used to produce this plum wine. The blend creates a well-balanced plum wine with an astringent, woody aroma derived from oak and a refreshing green plum flavor. The main botanical is ma gao, a Taiwanese spice. The rich plum aroma is followed by a citrusy and uniquely cool sensation, and the malt sweetness mellows the aftertaste, creating a product that offers a variety of expressions in a single drink.
■How to enjoy Umeshu
Umeshu can be enjoyed not only straight, on the rocks, or with water, but also with hot water.
Other ways to enjoy Umeshu include mixing it with tea, as a topping for lemon sorbet, and as an accent for homemade vegetable juice, so we recommend that customers pursue their own unique ways of enjoying Umeshu.

What is Off Trail?
Off Trail” is a brand that challenges new possibilities for craft beer, created in November 2019 as a follow-up to the two brands “KAGUA” and “Far Yeast”. KAGUA was named after the image of “Off Trail,” or the “unpaved road,” which is a departure from the “well-paved road. In order to create a rich and complex aroma by utilizing microorganisms other than beer yeast, beer is aged in barrels used for wine, sake, and whiskey. We try to create unique flavors by blending seasonal fruits such as grapes and peaches, as well as regional specialties, to match the character of the base beer.
