After the cap has been removed you better drink it within a few weeks since it will slowly loose flavor.

There are more than 300 private Umeshu labels in Japan. Whereas Choya is the large industrial giant with highly standardized products a lot small small breweries produce their own very unique Umeshu. This makes umeshu a very interesting drink with a great variety. Umeshu can be made based on Sake, Shochu, brandy or white liqueur. On top of this some Umeshu include additional flavor such as green tea, Shiso, Yuzu or ginger.

If not, how long should us finish consuming once the caps is opened? Thank you for your answer.
