Umeboshi, pickled plums, are a celebrated staple of Japanese daily cuisine, cherished for both their appetizing taste and health benefits. These particular plums are Kishu Nanko Ume, harvested in a region recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage site. Kishu Nanko Ume are famous across Japan for their impressive size, thin skins, and exceptionally thick, soft flesh.
Only top-tier Grade A plums are selected for this set. Grading is determined by checking for blemishes and spots from black spot disease and canker; Grade A means each plum is unblemished, thin-skinned, appropriately soft, and uniform in size. Every plum here meets that standard, chosen for beautiful taste and shape alike, then packed by hand into the wooden box, one at a time.
Whether you want to elevate your home rice meals or offer a thoughtful gift, this set brings an authentic taste of Japanese craft right to your table.
