Chu Lo Manufacture Japanese inspired soft drinks. Founder, Stephanie Buttery, a former Royal Navy Captain, first tasted the alcoholic drinks Chuhai during a deployment to Japan. On returning home and finding nothing in the UK similar to the sour taste of Chuhai, Stephanie began creating her own alcohol free sour fruit soft drink. Since its launch in 2019, Stephanie became a finalist on BBC’s Gordon Ramsay’s Future Food Stars and Chu Lo is now stocked in stores and restaurants across the UK and EU including The Ivy, Wasabi and Yo Sushi.
