If you are looking for something a bit different to add to your Christmas drinks cabinet, why not try Choya Umeshu which is a Japanese fruit liqueur made from the ume fruit, a popular fruit in Japan. It is one of the most well known drinks in Japan and is gaining popularity worldwide. 
Choya Umeshu offers a unique tasting experience reflecting Japanese cultures and traditions. With Umeshu’s strong sweet-sour flavour and fruity aromas, there are a number of ways of serving Choya both hot and cold. 

I adore the Choya Ume Salut Sparkling Wine. It is like a plummy champagne. Very rich and full of flavour. It’s a joy to drink and brings sparkle to the day.

Choya Ume Salut Sparkling Wine – A champagne alternative 

A crisp and refreshing blend of Italian wine blended with Choya’s exotic sparkling plum wine. A wonderful marriage of Japanese and Italian wines, best enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or with your favourite food.

Simply chill and pour into a glass
