    • this should be the same ingredients that goes into Choya ume wine.

      Rhonda should be delighted that we might have one more convert to that wine.

      Some of them taste really vile though.  I remember my sister buying a box from a japanese supermarket in USA.

      She tried one, dump that away.  I ate one, relegated that box to the back of the fridge.

      Its was very salty.

       

      i dare to eat Ume wine's left over plum though.....the plums should also be good to place with steaming fish.
