Indulge in the authentic taste of Japan with J Taste Umeboshi Pickled Plums With Honey. Crafted from quality Nanko plums, these special plums are sourced exclusively from the renowned Wakayama Prefecture, famed for producing the finest umeboshi.
J Taste umeboshi are additive-free and boast a lower sodium content compared to conventional umeboshi. Enhanced with a touch of pure Japanese honey, these pickled plums offer a unique balance of sweet and savory flavors. Those who find umeboshi to be too sour or too salty will love the sweet and slightly salty taste of J Taste umeboshi.
The keys to the quality of J Taste's Honey Umeboshi Plums are the simple, natural ingredients used. Soft and ripe Kishu Nanko ume plums are pickled in Japanese blossom honey, raw sugar, apple vinegar, and mirin. Not only are these umeboshi low-sodium when compared to other umeboshi, the salt they do use is of the highest quality: pure, Australian sun-dried salt collected from islands around the Great Barrier Reef. The salt is rich in minerals, yet mild in flavor so as not to overpower the sweetness of the honey.
Umeboshi, or Japanese pickled plums, have been cherished for centuries for their myriad health benefits. The natural citric acid formed during the lengthy pickling process provides an alkalizing effect on the body, helping to neutralize fatigue, stimulate digestion, and promote the elimination of toxins.

These honey umeboshi plums can be eaten as they are, right out of the pack as a healthy, sweet and sour snack. They're also great to add a boost of flavor to other dishes.
Level up a bowl of rice, or the rice in your bento, by sticking one of these flavorful plums on top. Umeboshi are a favorite onigiri rice ball filling too. They're a great way to improve a salad, a cheese plate, or a bowl of yogurt!
Plum Sauce: To make ume plum sauce, a great seasoning for fish or chicken, simply mash these honey umeboshi with a little soy sauce.
Simmered Sardines: Bring 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp sake, 1 Tbsp mirin and 1 Tbsp sugar to a boil. Add 3 sardines and 2 J Taste honey umeboshi and simmer until sauce thickens.
Ume Sour Cocktail: Put a serving of your favorite liquor (vodka, shochu, and whiskey work well) into a cup. Add one J Taste honey umeboshi, and top with sparkling water.
Store in a cool and dark place and refrigerate after opening.
