CHOYA Limited Aging – Only 5 Bottles a Day
Available exclusively at CHOYA Kyoto and Kamakura

As the Ume Concierge at our Kamakura store, I’m delighted to share the story behind this special umeshu—something that cannot be fully conveyed at the counter.

CHOYA carefully preserves more than 450 varieties of umeshu base spirits. Just like whisky, these are blended to precise standards for each product before being shipped worldwide.

A single, exceptional spirit, chosen from 450 varieties

Each has its own taste and aroma. “CHOYA Limited Aging” is crafted from just one extraordinary base spirit, without blending. That is why we can only offer five bottles a day, exclusively at our stores.

A gift to treasure from Kyoto or Kamakura

【Designed with gifting in mind】

・Lightweight bottle under 1kg (985g), easy to carry

・Can be stored at room temperature without concern for shelf life

・Elegant design that lifts the spirit when received

A deep amber color – proof of over 3 years of aging

Only large-size Nanko ume (2L or larger) from Wakayama are used, known for their high acidity. With simple ingredients, the spirit is carefully aged for over three years.

The result is a luxurious umeshu with a smooth, rich flavor reminiscent of dried fruits, spreading gracefully across the palate. A perfect glass to enjoy on life’s special occasions.

When you visit Kyoto or Kamakura, we invite you to choose “CHOYA Limited Aging” as a meaningful gift for someone special.
