Choya Aged 3 Years 15,5% 0,7l
Product characteristics
Choya Aged 3 Years is the premium expression of the craft umeshu tradition. The liqueur is fashioned from 100% Kishu Nanko-ume fruit and a cane-spirit base, then aged in special tanks for three years. This ageing develops complexity, mellow acidity and a harmonious fruit-sweet structure. The mature umeshu character is subtle and well balanced, making it a choice for those who appreciate a calm, fruity profile.
Serve this liqueur well chilled or over a single large ice cube to highlight the fruit maturity. It works as a contemplative after-dinner sip or as an elevated cocktail base where umeshu brings nuanced sweetness. Choya Aged 3 Years pairs excellently with white chocolate desserts, almond biscotti, fresh stone-fruit salads and soft, creamy cheeses, whose richness is cut by the subtle acidity.
Choya Aged 3 Years – mature umeshu from Japanese plums
Choya Aged 3 Years is a plum umeshu liqueur produced exclusively from Kishu Nanko-ume fruit cultivated in Wakayama Prefecture. The liqueur ages for three years in special tanks after the fruit has been steeped in cane spirit. This maturation process delivers complexity, gentle acidity and a balanced fruit-sweet structure.

The palate feels elegant and smooth, carrying plum-jam sweetness, mild citrus acidity and a soft almond-pit touch. A subtle note of aged wood or tea-leaf maturity deepens the impression. The finish lingers with plum fruit and a delicate almond echo.
