It is produced by プラム食品株式会社 in Kamitonda, Nishimuro District, Wakayama Prefecture, and sold on Rakuten Ichiba by the shop 梅酒専門店 プラム. The set contains one 200ml bottle each of 熊野梅酒, 本場紀州梅酒 and にごり梅酒 熊野かすみ (a cloudy umeshu).

The features we could confirm on the product page are three: one 200ml bottle of each of the 3 types, alcohol content ranging from 8% to 13%, and delivery in a gift box.

Summary: Is This the One for You?
Why choose it: you want to try umeshu with different tastes in small amounts, and if you give it as a gift, you want one that comes with a gift box and a card. If these two are your conditions, this product, which delivers 3 types in 200ml bottles in a gift box, is a good fit (weak points: noshi cannot be added, and the card text is chosen from only 2 options).
- The set contains 3 bottles with different alcohol content: 熊野梅酒 13%, 本場紀州梅酒 9% and にごり梅酒 熊野かすみ 8%. The ume plums in all 3 types are stated to be from Kishu
- The Rakuten rating is 4.55 / 5 (994 reviews). Among the 60 reviews in default order that we read, many said the recipient was pleased with the gift (about 38) or that it was easy to drink (about 15)
If you would rather give a beer tasting set, there is also よなよなエール Craft Beer Tasting Set, 5 Types × 5 Cans, with five types of 350ml cans (noshi cannot be added to this one either).
