Choya Ume, Japanese wine

I was first introduced to this wine by my colleague , B during our trip to Bangladesh.  The only entertainment in Chittagong, Bangladesh is dinner and good wine or liquour. So, at KLIA, we shopped around and found this wine which is not only good for health but it had a pleasant taste, so we brought a few bottle to try it out. It turns out to be a good wine and each bottle have about nine green plums and it goes went with the wine. It is recommendable to have a try and experience yourself.

In Chinese name, it is called " Umeishu" and it means Plum Wine. It is about RM100 per bottle. I start to like it, lets enjoy together. Cheers.

Namaste.
