The Golden Ume Fruits is Choya's flagship umeshu with the fruit left in the bottle, here in a 325ml size. Large, thick Nanko-ume from the Kishu region are steeped slowly in cane spirit with sugar for about one year. By then the flesh is very soft, and the macerated plums go into the bottle for you to eat on their own as a sweet or to use in cooking.
Umeshu is a traditional Japanese liqueur made from ume fruit, and this is a golden standard of the style. The taste is a beautifully balanced sweet and tart with notes of almond. The tasting profile is a mellow aroma with strong tartness from the pairing of ume liqueur and ume fruit, at 15% ABV. It won a Gold Award at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2021.
Chilled, on the rocks or with soda, it works as an aperitif or after a meal, with sushi, sukiyaki or tempura. The 325ml bottle is a tidy size for a first taste or a small gift. Ralph's imports Choya, with Metro Manila delivery.
