Umeboshi, Japan’s salty and sour pickled plums, are made by soaking Japanese plums ("ume") in a salt brine until they become plump and juicy with a noticeably tart taste. These special umeboshi are made from Kishu nanko ume, which are regarded as one of Japan’s highest-quality and most flavorful plums. They are a local speciality of Kishu with a taste similar to apricots and bright, tart, fruity notes.

Addictively sour AND sweet

The first time I tasted these umeboshi, I thought to myself, whoa…this is too sour! The second time I had it, I found a better way to enjoy. First, enjoy the “liquid”. It is pleasantly sour with a hint of sweetness. Then eat the umeboshi and the sourness is significantly less. I am salivating as I’m writing this review. =p

I was blown away at my first bite

These are so delicious I love these so much. I eat them on their own or in onigiri. There is a pit that has a sharp point so watch out when eating them whole. They’re very vinegary but I love that blast of flavor when I’m snacking on them. I keep running out!
