Three Centuries of Fermentation, One Plum Wine
Kikkoman is a family business guided by a sixteen-article family creed passed down through nineteen generations — more than 300 years of fermentation craft. Best known for soy sauce, the company turns that expertise to plum wine for the US market, made in California from 100% real plums. The result is sweet without being cloying: ripe plum, black cherry, and berry notes lifted by refreshing acidity. Explore the Kikkoman shelf or browse the store's sake and plum wine collection.
Tasting Notes
Sweet aromas and flavors of plum, black cherry, and berries with a light aromatic bouquet and velvety finish. The distributor's note is the signature: sweet plum flavor balanced with a refreshing "zing of acidity" — ripe cherry aroma, crisp and smooth on the palate.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled on the rocks, add a spritz of club soda for a light aperitif, or mix with nigori sake. It also works as a marinade base — the sweetness and acidity both play well with grilled meats.
