Product Description
An ancient Japanese health food used to balance and strengthen. Valued for its antibacterial properties and as a digestive aid. Pickled with red shiso leaf. A very sour, refreshing pickled plum. Ideal for nori rolls, rice balls, salad dressings, and tonic drinks. Made of a treasured variety of plum called 'nanko", prized for its juicy pulp, delicious flavor, and high citric acid content. 'The king of alkaline foods'.

umeboshi plums/vinegar August 18, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
These little sour/salty/bitter fermented Japanese plums are simply fantastic. Strewn through rice, tofu, veggies,etc., they add an unusual and stimulating flavor sensation. If the quantity of the food is small, you probably won't want to add any more salt, so be wary. I am sure the Japanese people didn't intend the plums for this purpose, but they are an absolutely wonderful addition to a martini, in lieue of the ubiquitous olive. I purchased some of the umbeboshi vinegar as well, which is, again, delicious sprinkled on almost anything that is compatabile with a salty taste.
