Organic Pickled Plum With Japanese Basil (Shiso Umeboshi)

Highlights

• Plump, tart pickled Japanese plum
• Perfect on rice or in rice balls (onigiri)
• Organically grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers

Umeboshi (pickled plums) are made by soaking ume (Japanese plum) in salt brines until they become plump and juicy with a delightfully tart taste. Shiso (perilla leaves or Japanese basil), a Japanese herb related to mint, adds a refreshing earthy flavor similar to basil and anise with hints of citrus, and a vibrant pink color. Sustainably farmed, this product carries the Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS) organic certification.
