Choya Kishu Plum Wine

CHOYA Umeshu Kishu Plum wine is a premium Japanese liqueur made from 100% Japanese plums that are harvested in the Kishu region. The plums are carefully selected and then steeped in high-quality shochu (a distilled spirit) and sweetened with sugar, resulting in a sweet and tart flavor profile. Famous for its plum liqueurs bottled with whole fruits, Choya offers a special version of its Umeshu made with the Kishu plums, the most precious of Japan. The name ‘Umeshu’ translates to “plum wine,” and this liqueur has a rich amber color and a fragrant aroma of ripe plums and honey. It has a smooth and velvety texture on the palate, with flavors of sweet plum, almond, and a hint of spice. This plum wine can be enjoyed on its own as a dessert drink, or it can be mixed with soda water or used as a base for cocktails. It is also commonly served as an aperitif or digestif in Japanese cuisine, and pairs well with dishes such as sushi, sashimi, and grilled meats
