The Choya Royal Honey Liqueur 70 cl 17%

Whole ume fruits rest at the bottom of the bottle - Japanese craftsmanship where honey and royal jelly meet the plum's tartness with no added sugar.

Expert's Description

The Choya Royal Honey is a Japanese Umeshu based on ume fruit and honey, bottled at 17% ABV.

Umeshu is a Japanese fruit liqueur made from the ume fruit, which belongs to the same family as plums and apricots but has a considerably higher acid content. The flavour of a good umeshu comes not only from the fruit's flesh and skin, but also from the kernel. The Choya Royal Honey is made by producer Choya exclusively from Japanese ume fruit (the Kishu Nanko variety), natural honey and royal jelly, with no added sugar, using an average of 240 grams of ume fruit per bottle.

Taste

The taste offers the delicate tartness of the ume fruit balanced by the natural sweetness of honey, giving a smooth, round umeshu without the sharp sugary sweetness found in many other plum liqueurs. The bottle is filled with a couple of whole ume fruits, which continue to lend character to the liqueur.
