Conveniently packaged in an easy-to-use tube, perfect for cooking. What is KISHU NANKOU-UME? Kishu Nanko ume plums from Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, are larger and thicker than other plum varieties, with soft flesh, and delicious taste has made them a top brand of plums in Japan. The plums are harvested after they have fully ripened and fallen naturally, giving them a rich fragrance. They are salted for over a month after harvesting, resulting in high-quality umeboshi with a strong sour taste. Easy to Use and Healthy Umeboshi with the seeds removed and mashed into a paste for easy use in cooking. It can be used as a topping for rice or sushi, a condiment for meat dishes, salad dressing, or mixed with mayonnaise to create "ume mayo." Since it's a tube type, you don't need a spoon and can use it with one hand. In Japan, it is said that eating umeboshi first thing in the morning will boost your metabolism with its citric acid, helping you start your day actively. Additionally, tea with umeboshi has long been drunk to relieve fatigue. Umeboshi is a healthy food that adds depth and tartness to dishes.
