This exquisite bottle received the highest honor in the liqueur category, "Best in Show," at the "SFWSC 2024," one of the world's largest liquor competitions, solidifying its reputation as the world's best. Enjoy the culmination of Choya's expertise, where the deep maturity fostered over three years blends with the overwhelming fruitiness of ripe Nanko ume puree.
Artisan Craftsmanship: The Commitment to 3 Years of Aging and "EXTRA FRUIT"
Made with 100% carefully selected Nanko ume from Kishu. It is quietly aged for over three years in special storage tanks that block out the effects of light, temperature, and air. To this, a rich puree of whole ripe Nanko ume, strained until smooth, is luxuriously blended. This unique method creates layers of deep aged umeshu and the fresh texture of freshly picked fruit.
Flavor and Aroma Characteristics
The moment it's poured into a glass, a mellow, rich aroma unique to aged liquor spreads. Upon tasting, a thick, smooth texture from the carefully strained puree fills the mouth, with the refreshing acidity of ume and the sweetness of the puree blending in exquisite balance. Even after swallowing, a long and pleasant fruity aftertaste lingers, characteristic of its extremely rich drinking experience.
Recommended Ways to Enjoy
First, we recommend enjoying it "straight" or "on the rocks" to fully savor its rich fruitiness. The changing aroma and flavor as the ice melts create a gradient perfect for a luxurious relaxing time. It's an excellent choice for a treat for yourself, and we confidently recommend it as a gift for loved ones.
