Shochu that goes with umeboshi
Savory and salt
One salted plum, crushed with a spoon in the glass. Salty, sour, savory.
Ranked over every bottle in the catalogue, with the reason each one is here. The reasoning is the same engine that recommends a mixer from a bottle, run the other way round, so the two never contradict each other.
