Experiência de Licor de Ume de Kyoto com CHOYA - Faça Sua Própria Lembrança

The staff are so friendly. They start by introducing the plums, and before we begin making them, they let everyone taste and choose their favorite plum flavor. They guide us step by step, and the shop is clean and bright. Things started right on time, and I'm really looking forward to drinking it in a month!

Had such a fun time at the CHOYA umeshu making workshop!! My friends were a bit late but they were super accommodating -- it was so interesting learning about the history of CHOYA and trying the different types of plums and sugars to be used. Sumire was an amazing guide and I had so much fun talking with her!! Will definitely recommend this to others who are looking for a great and unique experience in Kyoto :)

I was lucky to be the only one there at that time. I'm very grateful to the姐姐 (elder sister/auntie) who explained each type of plum and sugar so diligently. Through the experience, I learned even more about plum wine~

This was a fun experience learning about plum wine, making it and then able to take it home. Who knew there could be so many variations. Would def recommend. our host was very knowledgeable and her English was very good.

Emi was the knowledgeable teacher who led us through our class during my family trip. We had a mix of Chinese and English speakers, and she was able to accommodate that. I learned so much about all the different types of plums that can go into the umeshu process. This was an awesome experience if you are interested in or like umeshu!

この体験は最高でした！スタッフはとてもフレンドリーで、英語と日本語を話しました。教育的な内容も洞察に富んでいて、テイスティングはとても楽しくて美味しかったです！

Choya making experience was interesting and delightful - simple and brief exposure to the different types of ume and sugar. Tried the umes and sugars briefly but wasn’t allowed to try the alcohol with the umes - a little inflexible when we wanted to decrease the alcohol volume as we are not huge drinkers and wasn’t allowed. Very good service by the staff there :)

素晴らしい時間でした！このエリアはショッピングも多くてとても賑やかで、スタッフの方々もとても親切でした。たくさんのシロップを試飲させてもらい、ワインの試飲もできました。とても分かりやすく、梅酒の歴史についてよく理解できました。

非常有趣的体验，我们尝试了各种梅子和糖浆的搭配，最后还可以选择制作糖浆或果酒带回家！

The experience was amazing. Hopefully, next time there will be an option to make both umeshu and ume syrup at the same time in one booking. The organizer could consider providing bubble wrap for the glass bottles, as tourists will definitely need them for flights.
