  • Overcoming the problems of barrel-aged plum wine

    • The problem with barrel-aged plum wine was that the taste and aroma of plum lose the impact of the barrel and spoil the taste of plum wine. Therefore, Choya has conducted repeated research to balance the original taste of plum wine with the characteristics of barrels, and uses 1.5 times the amount of plums produced in homes to ensure that they are not affected by external influences such as "light", "heat" and "air". We arrived at the solution of barrel-aging Kishu Minamitaka Umeshu, which had been aged for more than 3 years in a specially designed tank dedicated to Umeshu.
    Founded in 1914 as a grape farmer, Choya, who produced wine and brandy, has developed the techniques of barrel storage and barrel aging that have been cultivated today.

  • Aged in French oak barrels made by a long-established manufacturer with a history of 350 years in Cognac

    • Brandy's highest peak Cognac in France We used barrels from a manufacturer with a tradition of over 350 years. The oak which was particular about France is dried naturally, and only the oak that passed the inspection for pollutants etc. is made into a barrel by a skilled Cooper. French oak charcoal of the same material was used luxuriously for the barrel baking process. Choya refers to aging in a dedicated tank for umeshu as "still aging". Plum liquor that has been "still aged" for three years is aged for another four years in a French oak barrel with a proven track record for aging this cognac. It was.

  • A taste that has been acclaimed at world-class fairs

    • The original fragrance of French oak imparted to the rich sweet scent, the smoky momentary stimulation. It has a mellow and mild acidity with a solid color. A deep and long-lasting finish woven by the blessings of Kishu's land and the warmth of wood. This well-balanced taste won the ISC Gold Award and was selected as Japan's first liqueur producer of the year.

    The package uses a black bottle that expresses the aging environment. The label incorporates the tone of grapes in the image of the technology cultivated in wine and brandy. The gift box comes in a smooth-feeling paper tube that expresses the mouthfeel, making it an ideal gift.

    Choya pursues the new possibilities of ume with the slogan "Todoke, the power of ume." and delivers the splendor of ume to people all over the world so that they can live healthy and happy days.
