Product details
The Plum One celebrates one of Japan’s most beloved traditions. Crafted from Japanese plums known as ume, has long been cherished as both a cultural symbol and a culinary treasure. Unlike others, which often relies on flavorings, The Plum One is made by steeping whole plums in a rice-based foundation, creating a naturally vibrant and authentic expression. At Joto, this time-honored process is carried out by Fuji in Shimane, where hand-harvested local ume are carefully selected, steeped, and matured. After months of maceration, the concentrated infusion is blended again to achieve perfect harmony of richness, brightness, and depth.
On the senses, it reveals vivid plum character—bright, juicy, and inviting—layered with deep natural sweetness. A lively acidity lifts the finish, creating balance and refreshing clarity. Served over ice with a splash of soda, it highlights its crisp, fruit-forward charm; mixed into a creative, Asian-inspired blend, it brings elegance, vibrancy, and a distinctive Japanese touch.
