摘要

PURPOSE:To prepare the titled novel drink keeping the refreshing flavor of plum fruit as strong as possible without deterioration, by immersing plum fruits in a fruit juice having high sugar concentration, diluting the resultant fruit juice and fermenting the juice with yeast. CONSTITUTION:Plum fruits are immersed in a fruit juice having high sugar concentration [30-90(w/v)%] and produced by adding sugar to juice of a fruit such as grape or concentrated fruit juice prepared by conventional process. The obtained fruit juice containing plum fruit juice and having high sugar concentration is diluted to a sugar concentration of 5-40% and preferably added with (crushed) plum stone. The diluted juice is added to MOROMI (unrefined fermentation mixture) at an amount of 0.01-15% of the MOROMI and fermented with yeast to obtain the objective drink. It is also preferable to mix a plum juice to the fruit juice having high sugar concentration as well as to immerse plum fruits in the fruit juice having high sugar concentration.
