My girlfriend and I were recommended this wine in London. We were dining at a fine Chinese restaurant and asked of a wine fit with a banquet and throughout the evening. The Choya Umeshu Plum Wine amakens your taste buds, accompanied with a silky smooth texture and a very powerful plum, apricot and berry presence. It is fruity, not too sweet and much enjoyed with any meal. I find myself with a glass and no meal, just as smitten with it. You could even consider it a desert wine or one to enjoy with company. On special occasions this wine really tops the night off. A glass of Umeshu brings back fantastic memories making it one bottle (or two) that is always on hand, just incase.

I love Choya Plum Wine - the moment I tried it it became one of my favourite wines - years later it still is. I love having it on the rocks with a little bit of cold water - it helps to balance out the flavours. It's great alongside sushi and can be used in cooking. It tastes so refreshing and it doesn't give you a headache or a hangover. The only thing I have an issue with is that Plum WIne isn't more popular. I wish I could get it more easily.
