Product Information

Have you tried the best Japanese Plum wines? If you call yourself an oenophile and you haven’t had Japanese plum wine, you’re definitely missing out on it a big time!

Additionally, individuals with certain dietary restrictions or sensitivities should review the ingredients and consult their healthcare provider if needed. This flavourful umeshu by Choya contains 100% natural honey and royal jelly, with no added sugar. It also includes several whole nanko ume fruits for you to enjoy once you’ve savoured the delicious liquid. It has rich, sweet, and aromatic taste and is suitably served as an aperitif. This taste is acquired from its fruit Ume, which is very tart in flavor, especially in the types traditionally grown in Japan. Ume thrives in Asian countries including China and Japan, and they are loved for their pinkish blossom during late winter and early springs.If consumed in moderation, plum wine can confer specific health benefits. Why? Because it is rich in antioxidants and minerals. A study carried out in 2007 on beneficial components of alcoholic fruit wines showed that plum wine had moderate total antioxidant capacity alongside other fruit wines such as those made from raspberries and cherries. However, it ranked below wines made from red sweet grapes and blueberries.

Not only that, you can make your Umeshu at your home, but you can also offer it to your restaurant or bar. However, there are certain limits to how much of Umeshu you can offer and sell at your restaurant or bar. But if it just for you and your purposes only, then you can make as much as you like. Conclusion Antioxidant properties: Plum wine, particularly if made from high-quality plums, may contain antioxidants. These compounds can help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body and potentially reduce oxidative stress.Is there a better way to unwind after a long day than with a glass of ice-cold Japanese plum wine? This traditional liqueur, also known as umeshu, is made from the flesh of the ume fruit and has a sweet, refreshing taste. Its low alcohol content and distinctive aroma will appeal to even those who don’t usually like wine. However, it’s important to note that Choya Plum Wine Kishu may not be suitable for those who prefer dry or less sweet beverages. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/275998903_Are_Umezu_polyphenols_in_the_Japanese_plum_Prunus_Mume_protective_against_mild_hypertension_and_oxidation_Evidence_from_a_double-blind_randomized_placebo-controlled_trial

Umeshu strictly translated is “ume alcohol.” The “shu” part of umeshu can refer to any type of alcohol, from whisky to sake to wine, so importers and marketers settled on the use of “wine” in its place — perhaps to convey the fruity flavor that is so much a part of what makes it enjoyable. The reason that umeshu is not plum wine is that wine is fermented, and umeshu is not strictly a fermented beverage. It has the most in common with liqueurs, in that it is flavored with fruit (ume) and has an alcohol base, as well as prominent sweetness as part of its flavor profile. Umeshu is made in Japan from various alcohol bases, unripened ume (Prunus mume) and, usually, sugar. Very few are made through the fermentation of ume juice, however one example is Hakutsuru “Plum Wine.” Choya Plum Wine Kishu (紀州梅酒) is another umeshu produced by the company Choya. This product is produced in Osaka prefecture and as you can see, it contains the ume plums in the bottle. If you like a milder tasting beverage, why not try blending umeshu with chilled water (in the warmer months) or hot water (in the winter)? These methods of preparation are popular in Japan, as is mixing umeshu with soda water for a lightly sparkling drink. Choya Umeshu started as a grape grower and winemaker in the early 1900s and became an umeshu producer in the 1950s. The company has grown to be a truly international presence in the realm of umeshu. It’s only 5.5% ABV, but with Choya “Sparkling Plum Wine”, you’ll have everything you need to make your next toast memorable and delicious! TakaraDigestive aid: Traditional plum wine is often consumed as a digestive aid in Japanese culture. The natural acidity of plums and the fermentation process involved in making plum wine can promote healthy digestion and alleviate discomfort.
