A quintessential part of Japanese cuisine and culture, umeboshi (pickled plums) are known for their strong, tart flavor. Our umeboshi are made by soaking ume (Japanese plum) in a salt brine until they become plump and juicy with a delightfully tart taste. Shiso (Japanese basil) adds a refreshing herbal flavor and a vibrant pink color.
