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.

Real taste of Umeboshi

Best Umeboshi ever tasted! Without siroup or sugar added. The taste is not too salty and simply delicious.
