Description

・Join our workshop to craft your own Umeshu and Ume syrup using the "Ume." Known for its refreshing tartness, this fruit has been cherished in Japan for over 1,000 years. We invite you to experience this timeless tradition with us! ・You will be guided in English by a concierge from CHOYA—the world's No.1 Umeshu company with over a century of heritage. ・Discover the rich history of Ume and CHOYA. Savor the subtle flavor differences between various Ume and sugars in a special tasting session, and finally, craft your very own one-of-a-kind Umeshu or Ume syrup. ・Our exclusive kit makes the process effortless and fun for everyone. Feel free to snap photos and capture every step of your creative journey during the workshop! ・Take home your uniquely crafted bottle as a special souvenir of your trip to Japan.
