Choya Extra Shiso Umeshu Red is a unique variant of the classic Umeshu, enhanced with shiso leaves, which give it its characteristic ruby red colour and an incomparable depth of flavour. This Japanese liqueur is made from carefully selected nanko ume fruits, which are known for their high quality and intense flavour. The ume fruits are soaked in alcohol for a long period of time, which perfectly emphasises their fruity sweetness and light acidity.

The addition of shiso (perilla), an aromatic herb from the mint family, gives the umeshu a special spiciness and a slightly tart note that harmonises wonderfully with the sweetness of the fruit. With an alcohol content of 17% by volume, this premium umeshu offers an intense and refreshing flavour experience that can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails or long drinks. The extraordinary ruby red colour also makes it a real eye-catcher in any home bar.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Choya Extra Shiso Umeshu Red shines in a strong ruby red colour with light violet reflections. Intense aromas of ripe plums unfold on the nose, accompanied by a fine herbal spice and a hint of red berries. On the palate, it is fruity and sweet with a refreshing acidity, complemented by subtle notes of shiso, reminiscent of mint and aniseed. The finish is soft, elegant and long-lasting, with a pleasant blend of fruitiness and herbal flavours.

This special umeshu can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with soda to fully experience its multi-faceted flavours. It goes perfectly with Japanese dishes such as sushi, grilled yakitori or mildly flavoured ramen. It also unfolds an exciting dimension of flavour as an accompaniment to cheese platters, dark chocolate or fruity desserts. As a base for cocktails, it offers an exotic flavour that can be wonderfully combined with citrus fruits or Ingwerer.
