“Honkaku Umeshu” is the original umeshu and made only from ume fruit, sugar, and alcohol. Over 90% of Choya’s products are “honkaku umeshu.” This is the real umeshu with delicious flavor just the way it is using natural ingredients that bring out the true refreshing taste and fragrance of ume.
For the purest drinking experience, chilled umeshu can be enjoyed straight up so that the flavors are not diluted by melting ice. The most common way to drink umeshu is on the rocks. The ice may be larger rocks or crushed, for an even more refreshing version.
