Organic Japanese Ume Su (Ume Plum Seasoning) 250ml

Organic Japanese Ume Su (Ume Plum Seasoning) 250ml delivers a bright, vinegar-like tang derived from pickle-fermenting Umeboshi plums with red Perilla leaves. Rooted in Edo-period traditions, this seasoning blends tart acidity with subtle fruity notes, making it a versatile enhancer for a wide range of dishes.

Produced by a four-generation family operation on a mountain farm in Wakayama prefecture, the trees are non-grafted, with several over 70 years old. New umeboshi trees are cultivated from the farm’s best plums and are not harvested for at least five years. The product is organic, vegan, and non-GMO, grown sustainably without fertilisers.

Its 250ml bottle provides a consistent, natural acidity to brighten salads, dressings, dips, vegetables, and pickling. Used with care, it also adds depth to sauces and can complement cocktails, offering a subtle fruit-driven brightness without overpowering other flavors.

Authentic Japanese craftsmanship, reflecting regional heritage and responsible farming. This Ume Su embodies four generations of family stewardship and a commitment to sustainable, pesticide-free production.
