Product details
Founded in Osaka in 1914, Choya has long been a pioneer in crafting beverages from Japanese ume fruit, combining tradition with a commitment to quality and purity. This “Sarari” edition, whose name means “silky smooth” in Japanese, is made entirely from 100% Japanese ume and contains no added flavors, coloring agents, or preservatives. Designed to be light, fresh, and easy to enjoy, it delivers a gentle sweetness and subtle tartness that highlights the natural character of the fruit. Its smooth texture and refined clarity reflect decades of expertise, offering a beverage that is approachable yet elegant in every pour.
The flavor profile is soft, fresh, and invigorating, opening with gentle fruit notes of ripe ume that are both bright and subtly sweet. The palate is smooth and silky, with a refreshing lightness that makes it easy to enjoy chilled, on the rocks, or mixed with juice. A delicate balance of sweetness and acidity allows it to pair effortlessly with a variety of dishes, from Japanese curry rice and fried chicken to desserts, leaving a clean, uplifting finish that highlights the natural purity of the ume fruit.
