The original plum liquor from Horichu Liquor Store, ‘Wakayama Jabara Umeshu’, is made by ripening aromatic plums grown with special care from the soil-up, balancing the sweetness with the ‘Wasanbon’ sugar, and mild ‘Jabara’ (a type of Japanese citrus) juice which is extracted and blended in an exquisite proportion using a careful pressing method that does not produce a bitter taste.
The store manager is the orange tabby Kosame-chan! (=^・^=)
She is so popular that many people come to the store to see her♪
