Choya is Japan’s leading umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur) producer, headquartered in Osaka. On January 16, 2021, Choya opened their online shop and began selling DIY Umeshu Kits.

Choya’s Kyoto and Kamakura shops offer special “ume taiken” experiences where customers may taste limited umeshu made from select ingredients.

However, with the continued COVID-19 pandemic, visitors continue to cancel their reservations and miss out on this great opportunity.
Umeshu fans begged Choya across SNS sites for a DIY kit, and that hope was only strengthened by the state of emergency called by the Japanese government and the “Stay Home” period.
Now it’s finally here!
Choya’s Official DIY Umeshu Kit

For those who may have already purchased the DIY kit, Choya offers a special set of ingredients only with a selection of plums and sugar which cost from ¥300~450.
