About Ume Odori:

Ume Odori ("dance of the plum blossoms") is a unique sake made from a tradition that started in the 17th century when the Japanese found that adding natural ume flavor to junmai sake yielded a delightfully refreshing beverage. The ume, traditionally translated in English as "Japanese plum," is actually a type of apricot (Prunus mume) well-loved in Japan both for its fruit and blossoms. Known for its bold flavor and healthy qualities, the ume has been a traditional favorite in Japanese cuisine.
