HYPER JAPAN 2012 Spring

Cocoro Restaurant, who will be with us in the Eat-Japan Food Court, have announced that they will be offering an amazing range of umeshu to HYPER JAPAN London 2010 visitors. Umeshu is a deliciously refreshing fruit-based liqueur, made from ume, an apricot-like fruit; read more about umeshu here. Cocoro Restaurant offers its customers an unrivalled choice of over 60 brands of umeshu, and they will be selected ten of their top choices for you to try at HYPER JAPAN. Although umeshu has been made and enjoyed in Japan for many hundreds of years, it has become particularly popular in the last few years, particularly amongst women in their twenties and thirties. Umeshu is a sweet and mild liqueur, easy to drink and a great cocktail ingredient. Enjoy it on the rocks or mix with soda water for a refreshing drink. Umeshu – when taken in moderation, of course – is also said to have medicinal properties; it’s long been enjoyed as a tonic, ume being rich in potassium, calcium and fruit acids. Whether you’re a fan or a newbie, come to the Cocoro Restaurant stand to try out some unusual and delicious umeshu!
