Product description Same Great Taste Brand New Look Kinjirushi Wasabi Ume Paste with Shiso has gone through a makeover and now has a brand new look. But don't worry, we still have the same great taste. Umeboshi Umeboshi is a dried and pickled fruit that resembles a plum but is actually a closer relative to the apricot. This salted and picked fruit is salty and sour at the same time. It is often used to eat with rice, noodles, rice balls (onigiri) and also can be used with alcohol as a flavor enhancer. Many people in Japan eat umeboshi as a cold remedy and has become a staple for many families in Japan. Japanese Nanko-Plum Our ume paste is made from "Nanko-Ume" from the Kishu area of Japan which is known for their high quality plums. Largely harvested in the Wakayama Prefecture of Japan, these Nanko Umes are famous for their quality, their taste and their history. Wakayama Prefecture produces about 60% of Japan's plum yield and has a history of over 60 years. Shiso Leaves Shiso leaves, Perilla Leaves or Japanese basil is a aromatic herb that is often used with Sushi and Sashimi. There are 2 types of shiso leaves, green and red. Green shiso is used with many dishes as garnishes and can be eaten with a fresh, citrusy flavor with hints of mint, cloves and cinnamon. Red shiso tends to be a bit more bitter and is often used as a food dye, commonly used to dye Umeboshi and pickled ginger.
