Mitoku Umeboshi Salt Plums with Shiso 150g

Although there are several natural producers of pickled plums in Japan, few use the year-long traditional process of Mitoku’s supplier, the Sogawa family, and fewer still use organically grown plums and high-quality sea salt. In fact, the umeboshi found in many Oriental food stores are made in just a few weeks using red dye, organic acids, and commercial salt. To be sure that you are buying the finest-quality pickled plums, check the ingredients on the label. Sogawa-style pickled plums are made with organic plums, organic shiso leaves, and sea salt.
