  • The result is a rich, aromatic and rich flavor. When used in plum wine, it gives an amazing ripeness in a short period of time.
  • Konpei sugar

  • The result is a slightly aromatic, refreshing taste that is easy to drink. Best of all, it's the most popular item because it's so cute when you make it. Choya is particular about finishing with natural coloring. Therefore, the color fades quickly after making, so take photos as soon as possible!
