Me and my siblings bought these Japanese wine called Choya Umeshu for my Mom and Dad (both were given a bottle each as a birthday present). This wine is very good for health as it is added with natural fruit called UME in Japanes. This fruit is the main ingredient of the wine and it gave a very nice sour taste to it. There are two types of flavors available; Choya Umeshu which is the natural flavor, and Choya Honey Umeshu which is the only difference is it was sweetened by honey.
The effectiveness of UME:
The UME fruit contains an extremely high amount of acid, as much as that of one lemon. Besides its own type of acid, the UME also contains other organic acids. These are highly recommended for the promotion of well-being and general good health. Although UME contains a lot of acids, it is however also a strong alkaline food. The consumption of excessive meat and dairy products and leading a more stressful life profile could increase the acid content in one's blood, and this could adversely affect liver function as well as the body metabolism. Also, th lactic acid level of the body will increase and this is one of the causes of fatigue.
The benefits of UMESHU:
Besides relieving fatigue, UMESHU also provides other benefits:
- The mocrobiological flora in the skin of UME fruits helps to relieve stomach discomfort and upsets.
- In Japan there is a tradition for cold sufferers to take UMESHU mixed with hot water in order to warm themselves up and induce a good sleep.
- UMESHU increases the body metabolic rate and eliminates exhaustion.
- Keeps blood clear and pure
Serving suggestions: Choya + Ice, Choya + Orange juice, Choya + Soda, Choya + Green tea, Choya + Jelly, Choya + Ice-cream, and many more depending on your own creativity. The fruits is good to be eaten by itself too.
I bought the Choya Umeshu from a shop called Shojikiya at Lower Ground Floor, The Gardens, Mid Valley. Currently they are having promotions.
