梅酒是日本酒类的一种，主要成份包括梅、糖和烧酒。梅酒一般酒精含量约为10-15%，味带酸甜，故亦为一些不嗜酒的人士所爱。

日本餐馆提供不同口味的梅酒，也使用梅酒制作鸡尾酒。梅酒冷热饮皆宜，亦可混合绿茶、温水、汤力水等配搭出不同的口味。

蝶矢梅酒（Choya）是其中一个著名的日本梅酒品牌。

Umeshu(梅酒) is a Japanese liqueur made from steeping ume fruits (while still unripe and green) in alcohol(焼酎,shōchū) and sugar. It has a sweet, sour taste, and an alcohol content of 10–15%. The taste and aroma of umeshu can appeal to even those people who normally dislike alcohol. Famous brands of umeshu include Choya and Takara Shuzo. Varieties are available with whole ume fruits contained in the bottle, and some make their own umeshu at home.
