It's not a cloyingly sweet taste, but rather a concentrated essence of the plum's inherent sweetness and acidity, leaving a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. The thick body, characteristic of nigori sake, has a persuasive quality that even impresses sake connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e20% Alcohol Content Expands Enjoyment Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an alcohol content of 20-21%, higher than typical umeshu, its character remains intact even when mixed with other ingredients.
