How to make a butterfly plum kit

Making the butterfly plum kit is very easy!


STEP1

Dry the washed bottle and remove the stem from the frozen plum.


STEP2

Add all the plums and sugar alternately to the bottle.


STEP3

In the case of plum wine, pour the sake at the end. (M size: 120ml, L size: 240ml)

*Please be sure to pour alcohol with an alcohol content of 20% or more.

Enjoyable recipes after pickling

UME dressing

The crunchy texture goes well with Italian dressing.

One bag of Choya Ume Kit M size (3 cups) can be used for one serving. For L size (6 cups), please order 2 pieces.

Characteristics of 4 types of alcohol

vodka

It has no distinctive taste or aroma, so it brings out the flavor of plums. The taste is closest to standard plum wine made with white liquor.

gin

Finished with a refreshing flavor derived from botanicals such as spices and herbs.

white rum

It has a sweet vanilla-like scent. Recommended for those who like sweet drinks.

brandy

The result is a deep, fruity plum wine with a strong sense of ripeness.
