    Can’t give this enough stars. Lots of fun! Very good English speakers so no barrier. You get to sample various types umeshu, or ume syrup for the younger crowd. After a brief but detailed discussion, you get to make your own TO TAKE HOME, and watch it transform into a delicious treat! There weren’t enough people in here doing this. This is a Must Visit. Very clean environment and very relaxing after all the shopping, which is close by. This is also not far from the train station. Don’t miss out on this!

    We had a great time learning about Choya Ume. We arrived late but Nana graciously welcomed us and walked us through the whole process while tasting various syrups. They were all so amazing and she was a great host and teacher. Definitely recommend coming here and all their products are awesome! 👏🏽

    I had a plum experience at CHOYA UME STUDIO -Kyoto Sanjo as a memory of my trip to Kyoto with my daughter. I'm excited to be able to choose 5 kinds of plums, sugar and liquor, and make my own favorite plum wine and plum syrup! The plum concierge also explained it carefully, and it was a relief for me even for the first time. It is a wonderful experience to enjoy including the time it takes to complete. Limited edition plum wine was also available for purchase in the store.
