CHOYA Umeshu Honey

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