Umeboshi are known to battle or even cure fatigue, alcohol poisoning/hangovers, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, Infections and more. Their unique flavor easily gives your meal an authentic Japanese touch. Umehachin is a flavored umeboshi: Red shiso leaves and bonito fish flakes are pickled together with the ume plums, adding the red color and additional flavors. Umehachin are less salty than traditional umeboshi and the red shiso adds even more nutritional health benefits! Red Shiso (Perilla) leaves are a versatile ingredient, often used in the Asian kitchen. The leaves itself are a bit spicy with a hint of cinnamon and are very rich in calcium and iron. They are believed to contain cancer-fighting properties and help improve blood circulation. Due to their strong flavor and color, they are ideal to use for pickling, or to compliment dishes like sashimi and tempura.

The Best Umeboshi Plum, Ever!
These are exactly what I was looking for! Thank you, Seller 😄 I grew up with this type of Umeboshi plum and have been searching for them for years. Finding the pale type is easy but this type is hard to find and it seems you are the only seller. Thank you again. In my opinion, these are the best! I do wish it had brine but I'm just ecstatic to have found them 😄

Perfect for rice balls and other fancy stuff.
We loved the sweet, salty, sour combination especially with the sushi rice and nori.
