Mitoku Umeboshi Paste is a concentrated umami powerhouse crafted from traditional Japanese pickled plums. This authentic ume paste delivers a bold, salty-sour tartness that has been prized in Japanese cuisine and natural health traditions for centuries. Made with just three wholesome ingredients — Japanese ume purée, red shiso (perilla) leaves, and sea salt — it contains no additives, preservatives, or artificial flavors. Umeboshi paste is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Spread it thinly on corn on the cob, stir into salad dressings for a bright umami lift, use as a filling in onigiri and sushi rolls, or blend into sauces and marinades. A little goes a long way, making it an economical pantry staple for home cooks and professional chefs alike. Beyond its culinary appeal, umeboshi has long been used in Japanese folk medicine as a digestive aid and alkalizing food. Rich in citric acid and naturally fermented, it supports gut health and adds depth to macrobiotic and plant-based diets. Ingredients: Japanese natural ume (umeboshi purée), red shiso (perilla) leaves, sea salt.
