Choya Kokuto is a
Japanese liqueur that blends
premium ume fruit with kokuto (black sugar) and dark rum. This combination creates a
rich, smooth, and well-balanced profile with layers of sweetness, depth, and complexity. The use of kokuto, a traditional Okinawan black sugar, adds a
deep caramel-like flavour, while the ume fruit contributes a
mellow tartness that enhances the overall harmony of the drink.
