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.
All of the ingredients are aged in barrels for one year, giving time for the plum’s natural sour flavor and the sweet aroma of the shisho leaves.

These flavorful fruits can add a fruity, sour kick to rice, noodles and tofu dishes or be chopped and incorporated into dressings, marinades and stir-fries. Toss into a salad or plop one into a cocktail glass before topping with shochu. You can even enjoy the fruits straight from the package.
