Homemade Umeshu
By thomas | June 11, 2008
It’s June now, which means it’s the Japanese rainy season, which means that it’s ume season, which means that it’s umeshu-making time. My favorite Japan blog Blue Lotus has posted an excellent article about making homemade umeshu (Japanese ume liqueur). It looks extremely easy to make, and the step-by-step guide is filled with beautiful pictures. Here’s one of them (used without permission. Hope you don’t mind):
I’m taking a trip to the store tomorrow to get started on this little project. Head on over to the original article to learn more. It’s a great read!

Thanks for the link, and of course I don’t mind the picture! Feel free, when saying nice things about my blog, to use any picture you like:)
Good luck with your umeshu!

Discovred yoru blog form Amy’s over at Blue Lotus. My est friend just got pregnant, she is a native Japanese girl. She and her husband live in Tokyo and my husband and I visit often. Your site is fabulous, I’ve taken up Japanese, classes at my local community college start at the end of the month. I want to visit Tomoko and her new baby, and speak Japanese to the baby. Your site is really helpful in reinforcing customs, language and culture.
