gold award

We mature the pure unblended Umeshu for 3 years in a special tank, and then age it for another 2 years in roasted French oak barrels. Rich and complex flavors, with a mellow taste and gentle acidity from the ume’s flesh and notes of almond from the pit, followed by a smoky and luxurious bouquet from the oak cask. Limited quantities sold mainly in duty-free shops. With a mission to deliver “The power ofume”, CHOYA seeks new possibilities that the ume can offer delivering the unique power of this fruit to the people all over the world, so they can lead healthy and enjoyable lives.

    The CHOYA Craft Fruit

    2023 Singapore World Spirits Competition
    gold award

    “The CHOYA” is a masterpiece created with our long history of ume liqueur making experience and data accumulation by CHOYA. It is made with 100% Japan grown Nanko ume fruit and is fully absorbed by nature’s bounty. “The CHOYA” is produced with much time and effort without adding artificial additives such as acidulants and artificial flavors, to bring out the maximum taste of ume.

    The rich Nanko-ume liqueur is blended with the ripe Nanko-ume puree. The extra fruitiness with a luscious sweetness complement the long lingering aging notes of this authentic Japanese liqueur.
