Umeboshi are Japanese pickled plums crafted in Wakayama’s Kishu region, home to Japan’s most prized ume variety. Nanko Ume is celebrated for its tender flesh, fruity aroma, and naturally balanced acidity, making it the gold standard for umeboshi. This version is made with a reduced salt formulation compared to traditional styles, allowing the natural balance of tang and sweetness to shine. Use it as a subtle accent in sauces, dressings, rice dishes, and cocktails, or try pairing it with cream cheese for a surprising twist.
