TOZAI PLUM SAKI -14 720ml

Tozai “Blossom of Peace” Plum Sake (Umeshu) – 720 mL (10.5% ABV)
A guest-magnet for brunch, dessert menus, and low-ABV cocktail lists. Local Aodani plums are macerated in Tozai sake for 3+ months, yielding a vibrant, lightly tart sweetness with almond-marzipan aromatics. 720 mL screw-cap bottle; 10.5% ABV.

• Tasting profile
  Almond & marzipan on the nose; juicy plum, apricot, and cherry on the palate; soft acidity for a clean, slightly sweet finish.

• Why it works for bars
  • Consistent & sessionable: 10.5% ABV supports higher-velocity by-the-glass sales and daytime service. 
  • Fast service: Screw cap + stable sweetness = easy pours and minimal training. (Size listed as 6/720 mL in trade packs.)
  • Story that sells: Kyoto Aodani plums + Kizakura brewery provenance make an easy table-touch talking point.

• Menu plays
  • Plum Spritz: Tozai Plum (3 oz) + soda (2–3 oz) over ice, citrus wheel.
  • Kyoto 75: Gin (1 oz) + lemon (0.5 oz) + Tozai (2 oz), top with dry bubbles.
  • Umeshu Sour: Tozai (2 oz) + lemon (0.75 oz) + egg white, dash bitters.
  • Boilermaker/Manhattan twist: Split with bourbon for a Japanese-accented Manhattan.

• Food pairings (from tech sheet)
  Pulled pork, glazed salmon, peach cobbler—sweet-tart balance cuts richness and flatters fruit-based desserts.

• Ops & margin quick math
  720 mL = 24.3 oz → ~8 pours @ 3 oz or 6 pours @ 4 oz. Position as a premium sweet/low-ABV feature and garnish simply (dehydrated citrus) for high perceived value.
