Immerse yourself in the mystical universe of xxxHOLiC with this special Amrita plum liqueur, inspired by the sweet nectar said to be shared once a year among those who join the Hyakki Yagyou, the night parade of a hundred demons, in CLAMP's iconic dark fantasy series. In the story, shop owner Yuko Ichihara grants wishes in exchange for equal payment, and it's her elegant kimono, patterned with plum branches, that inspired this bottle's box design.
Named after amrita, the mythical elixir said to heal all suffering and grant longevity, this specialty umeshu owes its delicate pale pink hue to a rare plum called Tsuyuakane, a cross between ume and sumomo (Japanese plum) known for its deep red, thick-fleshed fruit. The result is a beautifully balanced liqueur, its gentle sweetness and acidity carrying just a hint of sumomo, truly living up to the name "sweet elixir."
Each bottle holds 300ml (63 x 63 x 165mm) and arrives in a box finished with gold foil lettering and patterns, its lid decorated with plum blossoms; a treat for the eyes as much as the palate.
Priced at 7,920 yen (tax included), this is a limited release that will stop shipping once its production cap is reached, with orders shipping from mid-March 2026. Purchase is limited to those 20 and older; store away from direct sunlight and enjoy soon after opening.
xxxHOLiC Amrita Plum Liqueur, a limited-quantity release scheduled to ship from mid-March 2026.
This 300 ml liqueur is made with Japanese plum juice from domestically grown ume, sugar, brewed alcohol, and gold leaf. It uses rare Tsuyu Akane plums, a hybrid of plum and Japanese plum, which give the pale pink liqueur a balanced sweetness and acidity with notes of plum.
The bottle measures approximately W63 × D63 × H165 mm and is packaged in a bottle, paper box, and PET materials. The box is inspired by Yuko’s kimono with its plum branch pattern, with plum blossoms decorating the canopy and gold-foil lettering and designs. Store away from direct sunlight in a cool place, and consume promptly after opening.
