OM PRODUSENTEN
380 Years & 14 Generations of History and
Tradition.The Founding Okura Family and
Gekkeikan
Fushimi lies at the southern end of the Kyoto
Basin. It has always been blessed with good
quality groundwater, and a rich natural
environment even to this day. The city retains
the atmosphere of the olden days, and is
enjoyed by many as a city which breathes
history.
Fushimi became a major castle town at the
end of the 16th century, when Fushimi Castle
was built. During the 17th century, in the Edo
period, progress was made on the
construction of a canal, making Fushimi into a
center of transport between Kyoto and Osaka.
In 1637, when Gekkeikan was founded, the
sankin-kotai system of alternate-year
residence by daimyo (feudal lords) in Edo had
started just two years before, so daimyo
would stay here, so Fushimi thrived as both a
riverside trading town and a post town, filled
with boathouses, timber wholesalers, and
transportation wholesalers.
The land divisions and the canal used as the
castle's outer moat are largely unchanged
since the Edo period. About 7 km south of
Kyoto Station, Fushimi offers streetscapes
that still retain this historical appearance, and
visitors can stroll around the Horikawa River,
which formed the outer moat of Fushimi
Castle and admire the white earthen-walled
sake breweries beyond the willow trees lining
the river.
TASTING NOTES
Made with fully ripened plums. The umeshu
plum wine in this glass bottle has been made
using fully ripened nanko ume plums, which
are well known for their peach-like sweet
aroma and a flavour completely free of any
bitterness. As such, you can rest assured that
this plum wine will be deliciously sweet and
fragrant.
PRODUCTION
Plum wine (or umeshu, as it is known in
Japanese) is made by steeping Japanese
ume plums in sake alcohol and sugar until the
flavour of the plum has infused into the
alcohol. This particular combination of
ingredients gives umeshu a deep, sweet/sour
flavour.
FOOD SUGGESTIONS
Great as an aperitif or dessert wine, as well as
fantastic in cocktails or served on the rocks.
Umeshu is always better served chilled, but it
can be enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or
combined with other beverages for a fruity
cocktail.
