Umeboshi — celebrated for its restorative qualities, a time-honored staple Japan is proud to share globally.
Old-Style Sun-Dried Salt Umeboshi
Naturally grown plums and red shiso, carefully raised at Wakka Farm in Okayama, cured in old-style sun-dried salt selected by Shizenshoku Kotan creating a mild, deeply savory umeboshi.
There's an old saying: "An ume a day keeps hardship away." Eat one, and you're said to be spared whatever the day might bring. Travelers of the past carried umeboshi as medicine, a guard against the local fevers and illnesses of unfamiliar ground.
That's the kind of umeboshi this is.
Carry it to the mountains. To the sea. On the road.
