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.

Huge umeboshi fan here

I am a huge umeboshi fan, and have been trying to find anything resembling what I've had in Japan for years. Here it is, finally. Not too sour, but never sweet. I'm very surprised because I'd have thought that, given the packaging, they'd be completely dried out, but not so. This is a good deal. Extremely pleased with my purchase.

Real taste of Umeboshi

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