Godaian is a brand renowned for its most premium plum products—a single umeboshi can cost thirty to forty Hong Kong dollars. Behind these prices lies nearly 200 years of plum-growing tradition; their own Higashi Farm has produced umeboshi and pickled plums since 1834, passing down their artisanal spirit through generations. Recently, Godaian partnered with MGM to craft this exquisite Rose & Plum Sparkling, using their finest estate-grown Nanko plums and the most fragrant Damask rose.

Pop the champagne-style mushroom cork and slowly pour the sparkling liquid into a glass. Watch as a stream of fine bubbles rises from the bottom, releasing a natural, fresh rose aroma that instantly invites you to take a sip.

The first taste is icy-cool and invigorating, with a light-bodied texture and delicate bubbles dancing on your palate. Both rose and plum aromas come forward together—the plum flavor is gentle, delicately complementing the beautiful floral notes. The finish is smooth, and a champagne-like astringency lingers at the back of the throat, adding complexity and making you eagerly anticipate the next sip. An excellent drink!

Both in presentation and substance, this is a product of exceptional quality—sparkling umeshu of this standard is truly rare. On a hot summer day, if you’re looking for something sparkling, refreshing, and rich with floral and plum fragrance, this is the perfect choice.
