Choya Umeshu Extra Years 50ml チョーヤ　梅酒　熟成

Umeshu is a traditional Japanese liqueur made from ume fruit. A perfect balance between the ume extract and the alcohol is achieved by ripening the whole fruit, with the stone still inside. The delicious flavor of Umeshu comes from the citric acid in the fruit and the refreshing flavor stimulates the appetite. Umeshu also contains malic and succinic acid. Refresh yourself by enjoying a glass of Umeshu when you feel tired. The addition of alcohol to the fruit during production means that the flavor of the ume can be extracted not only from the pulp and peel but also from the stone. It is this process that gives Choya Umeshu its unique fruity bouquet, with notes of almond and marzipan.

Choya does not use any artificial additives in any of our products, such as acidifiers, flavors or colors.
As a leading Umeshu manufacturer, we are committed to pursuing unfailingly high quality and authenticity in all our products.
It takes at least one year of aging to produce Choya Umeshu. This careful maturation ensures that the essential ingredients can be fully extracted from the ume fruit. Our slow aging process allows CHOYA to produce authentic Umeshu with the best possible taste and aroma every time.

Japan has four distinct seasons, each of which is essential for a rich ume harvest.
Choya uses only a few varieties of Japanese ume of the several hundred that exist in Japan today. Nanko-ume, from Wakayama, is a premium variety with fleshy pulp and high acidity, making it particularly suitable for Umeshu production. Thanks to the decades of ume growing experience and expertise shared by our Japanese farmers, at Choya we can be confident that we are using only the highest quality ume fruit in the world.
