Japanese Plum Culture to the World! ~Choya's Plum Experience~

Cultural Tourism

Ume was brought to Japan about 2000 years ago. Revered among Japanese for its health benefits, the usage of ume (whether it’s food provisions for warriors, natural remedies, or luxury items) has been evolving with the passage of time. CHOYA UME STUDIO, a ume specialty shop where people can experience the ume culture of Japan in a modern style to engage "a culture that fosters connections with loved ones," we continue to develop it while preserving traditional culture. From the historic cities of Kyoto, it is shared with the world.
