CHOYA Brewery: Choya Umeshu Co. LTD. (est.1924) Location: Osaka OS A K A
Umeshu has undergone significant changes over the years, particularly in terms of base spirit in which the ume are soaked to produce the final beverage. Originally, the fruit was soaked in koshu (a type of aged sake). This was later replaced with honkaku shochu, then again with multipledistilled shochu. These drastic shifts were driven by the desire to make the most of ume’s natural properties. The Umeshu experts at CHOYA are committed to meeting the ever-changing needs of our increasingly diverse customer base to create ever better products. They will continuously work with a large number of ume growers in Japan, making full use of the quality fruit they cultivate with care and expertise, in order to realise innovation and excellence in their Umeshu.

Suigei Brewery
SU IGEI Brewery: Suigei Brewery (est.1872) Location: Kochi KO C H I
The only Sakagura/Sake Brewery in Kochi City (named after alias of Yamauchi Yōdō, who was a Japanese Daimyo of the Shikoku region in the Edo period). They hope to make sake that is the best to pair with food - sake that is dry, yet with high acidity and umami - using the isolated Tosa Mountain range’s pure spring water. This water contains no iron or manganese, which are detrimental elements in sake. The brewery is also quite particular about their ingredients - the rice is polished very carefully, and they use true Kumamoto Yeast.
