    • Intense Power Flavor: Umeboshi is known for its extreme sourness and saltiness. A small amount is enough to enhance the flavor of rice and stimulate the appetite.

    • Traditional Superfood: Esteemed as medicine since the Heian period and historically carried by Samurai to fight fatigue, it is a treasured Japanese health food.

    • Incredible Health Benefits: Rich in citric acid, it is believed to help with fatigue recovery (by breaking down lactic acid), digestion, antimicrobial activity, and is often used as a hangover remedy.

    • Natural Preservative: Due to its high acidity and salt content, it has historically been used as a filling for onigiri (rice balls) to help preserve the food and prevent spoilage.

    • Perfect Rice Companion: An indispensable staple on the Japanese table, pairing perfectly with hot steamed rice, rice congee (Okayu), and Ochazuke.

    Product detailed description

    Umeboshi is one of the most iconic pickles in Japanese food culture. The ume fruit is salt-dried, sun-dried, and often pickled with red shiso leaves, which gives it its characteristic reddish color and intense salty-sour flavor.

    Its strong flavor means it is typically eaten in small quantities alongside rice. Umeboshi is more than just a pickle; it is highly concentrated with citric acid and has been valued for centuries for its traditional medicinal properties. It is believed to aid in recovery from digestive issues and general fatigue, embodying healthy Japanese wisdom.

     

    Suggested Use

     

    • With Rice: Serve one plum alongside a bowl of hot steamed white rice.

    • Onigiri Filling: The quintessential filling for Onigiri (rice balls wrapped in nori).

    • Flavoring: Umeboshi paste can be used as a seasoning in salad dressings, marinades for chicken or fish, and mixed into vegetable side dishes for a refreshing tang.

    • Wellness: Traditionally consumed with Okayu (rice congee) or hot water when feeling unwell or experiencing a hangover.
