Winery Review: It has a delicious blend of sweet and tart that tastes great by itself or mixed in cocktails. And the ume in the bottles make for a nice treat.
I think it’s a bit too sweet for me to drink neat but there are tons of easy ways to add dilution. Even just a few ice cubes help but I also enjoyed adding club soda to make a plum soda (https://letsdrinkit.com/choya-umeshu/).
Wine Folly: There is not a section on alternate fruit wines.
My Review: Strong wine/fermented smell with a hint of plum and sweetness. The taste is very plummy, but not as strong as the smell sells itself to be. Fruity like a berry and acidic. I had Brie cheese and salami with the wine. The creaminess of the Brie goes well with the strong sweetness of the wine. The salty salami worked like a palette cleanser, removing the sweet taste from staying in my mouth. Overall a pleasant wine, but a little too sweet to have often.
