Yasashi Ume Yasan

Prefecture of Japan: Wakayama

Yasashi Ume Yasan in Japanese: 優しい梅屋さん

Established in 1940, Yasashi Ume Yasan crafts these umeboshi just like obaachans would make them. Their ume are organically grown in Wakayama Prefecture, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and carry the Japan Agricultural Standards organic certification. The organic requirements in Japan are so strict that even in Wakayama, an area famous for its ume, only 1% are certified organic! The ume is then pickled in sea salt to create plump, juicy and distinctively tart umeboshi. The organic difference in taste is as natural as if obaachan made them herself!
