MINABE Fuu Mellow Plum Wine | Hon Mirin Base Natural Fermented Sweetness 8% ABV

The Natural Fermentation Sweetness of Hon-Mirin | Series' Lowest 8% ABV Beginner's Choice

The series' gentlest entry-level masterpiece! "Fuu Plum Wine" is luxuriously crafted on Japanese artisan Hon-Mirin (traditional sweet rice wine) as its base — replacing sugar with the natural sweetness of fermented rice wine, paired with Wakayama ripe Nanko plums. At 8% ABV (the lowest in the series), with no added sugar, it expresses a velvety-smooth, pure character.

Hon-Mirin is a Japanese traditionally-brewed sweet rice wine that is itself a koji-based rice spirit with naturally fermented sweetness. Built on Hon-Mirin, this umeshu carries warm, gentle koji-rich aromatics — without any sugar, yet expressing natural sweetness with a velvety-rounded smoothness. For umeshu beginners, women's casual drinking, health-conscious light sippers, low-ABV beverage lovers, and light food pairing — the entry-level choice for a pure, gentle micro-buzz experience.
