Did you know Ultraman has been around for 55 years? To celebrate this milestone, Tsuburaya Productions teamed up with renowned umeshu brewery Yagi Shuzo to create this special Kaiju Umeshu. Instead of Ultraman himself, the label features classic, fan-favorite monsters: Baltan the Scissor-Hand Alien, Zetton the space dinosaur who once defeated the original Ultraman, and the hilariously striped Dada Alien… The label is absolutely adorable!

Inside the bottle is umeshu made by Yagi Shuzo, a legendary name in Nara umeshu. With 185 years of history, Yagi Shuzo’s creations have consistently won prizes at the most respected umeshu competitions. This Kaiju Umeshu is no exception, winning two major awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2022—true proof of quality. Not only does it taste and look great, it even comes with a cute limited-edition coaster—how can the value get any higher!?

1. (Blue Label) The Great Umeshu Monster War in the Blue Sky
On the streets of Shibuya, Baltan and Zetton wreak havoc with their destructive rays, while Dada lurks in every corner. The Science Patrol anxiously waits atop the city’s rooftops… It’s a super-fun scene!

This version focuses on “freshness” and is best enjoyed on the rocks or with soda. Try it first on ice: you’ll catch a hint of tart green plum in the aroma, and the taste is moderately sweet with a touch of green tea. Next, mix it 1:1 with soda water—the aroma shifts to delicate green tea, and the carbonation lifts the subtle plum and green tea flavors. Refreshing and delicious!

Great flavor, awesome packaging, and a bonus coaster—this package is simply irresistible!
