Specialty hands-on ume experience shop 「CHOYA」

One hundred ways to enjoy ume fruit.

Specialty Hands-on Ume Experience Shop 「CHOYA」（蝶矢）

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.

Designed in contemporary style in Kyoto –
a world-famous city where ancient cultural legacy coexists side by side
with technological innovation,
we at the「CHOYA」ume specialty shop are committed to
continuing old traditions by preserving and passing down
this Japanese culture of ume to future generations with the motto,
“Culture that nurtures relationships between people”.
