Fukami Organic Umeboshi

These potent cured ume plums are hand harvested and barrel-aged for one year with salt and fragrant shiso leaves to develop the stone fruit’s robust flavor. These whole plums have been enjoyed in Japan cuisine for centuries—adding a robust tangy, fruity and salty hit to savory dishes without being too overwhelming. Their slight initial chew leads to a soft texture, while the unique addition of shiso leaves add a rosy-purple color and a second, refreshing layer of fruitiness.
