Choya Royal Honey 17%
Choya Royal Honey 17% is an elevated expression of the ume liqueur tradition from Choya, crafted in Japan’s Kishu region. The brand selects Nanko-ume plums, macerates them for 2-3 years, then blends in natural honey and royal jelly to create a luxurious profile that bridges fruit liqueur and sweet digestif. The result is both approachable and remarkably layered.
Serve well-chilled (6-10 C) in a small tumbler or over one large ice cube to showcase its elegant sweetness and refined fruit depth. It excels as a luxurious digestif or as a refined base in cocktails where ume and honey can shine (e.g., ume-honey sour). Its golden honey and fruit-nut profile pair beautifully with creamy desserts (vanilla panna cotta), almond biscotti, fresh stone fruits (peach or nectarine) and soft, fresh cheeses that allow the plume of honey to shine.
