Certified organic in both Japan and the U.S., these plums are presented in glass jars and contain only fruit, sea salt, and red shiso. Their bright, savory-acid profile is central to many traditional Japanese preparations and prized by cooks who value clean ingredients and artisanal technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow are these umeboshi prepared and what makes them authentic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach jar is produced using time-honored farmhouse methods in Wakayama.
