Plump, tender, and beautifully balanced, these extra-large Kishu Nanko umeboshi from Ishigami-mura bring an authentic taste of Japanese food culture to your dining table.

The mellow sourness melts smoothly into a faint sweetness, creating a clean flavor profile that is easy to love.

Umeboshi, or pickled plums, are a classic staple in Japan, prized both for their bright taste and wellness benefits. Among the many regional varieties, Kishu Nanko plums from Wakayama Prefecture are revered for their exceptionally thin skin and rich flesh. Thanks to the reduced-salt preparation, this batch is a favorite among families with children and anyone watching their sodium intake.

This 1.2 kilogram set comes packaged in a traditional wooden box, making it a handsome gift or a luxurious treat for your own kitchen. Enjoy them alongside hot steaming rice, tucked into a morning onigiri, or however you like to savor a classic umeboshi.
