CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PURITY IN FOOD Eden Ume Plum Concentrate (Bainiku Ekisu) 1.4 oz — 30x Concentrate, Spoon-Measured

Eden Ume Plum Concentrate (bainiku ekisu) is a 30x concentrated essence of ume plum in a thick, spoon-measured form for mixing into water or tea.

This small amber jar contains a potent 1.4 oz (40 g) portion of bainiku ekisu—the traditional concentrated extract of Japanese ume (plum). Prepared to capture the fruit's deep, savory-sour profile, the concentrate is dense and nearly black, designed to be used sparingly: one gram per cup gives a strong ume character to hot water, tea, or recipes. The product arrives in an amber glass jar with a measuring spoon to help you portion the thick concentrate accurately.

How do I use this concentrate in my daily routine?

Mixing Eden bainiku ekisu is simple and fast. Dissolve one gram (use the included spoon) in a cup of hot water or tea for an ume-flavored beverage, or add small amounts to sauces and dressings for depth and acidity. Because it's highly concentrated, a little goes a long way.

• Portion: 1 gram of concentrate per 8–10 oz cup
• Temperature: best dissolved in hot or warm water for full incorporation
• Culinary uses: drinks, vinaigrettes, marinades, and finishing sauces
• Storage: keep jar sealed and refrigerated after opening

What makes bainiku ekisu different from other ume products?

Bainiku ekisu is a 30-times reduced extract, meaning the fruit's liquids have been concentrated to capture intense flavor and nutrients. Unlike whole umeboshi or plum vinegars, this product offers a concentrated, shelf-stable way to add ume character without bulk or added sweeteners. The amber glass helps protect the extract from light for longer freshness.

• Concentration: 30x reduction for potent flavor
• Form: thick, spoon-measured paste—no diluting or chopping required
• Packaging: amber glass to limit light exposure and preserve quality
• Versatility: culinary and beverage applications without extra volume

How should I store and measure the concentrate safely?

Measure precisely using the included spoon to control strength and avoid waste. After use, reseal the amber jar and refrigerate; the small jar size encourages frequent, fresh use. Follow basic hygiene—use a clean, dry spoon each time to avoid introducing moisture into the concentrate.

• Use: one clean, dry spoon per serving
• Seal: close jar tightly after each use
• Chill: refrigerate after opening to extend freshness
• Portion control: tiny amounts for strong flavoring

Who is this product for? Eden Ume Plum Concentrate (bainiku ekisu) suits home cooks, tea enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates concentrated, naturally derived flavor boosters. It’s ideal for people who want an authentic ume plum presence without preparing whole plums—chefs adding bright acidity or savory depth, home cooks reducing prep time, and those who prefer a compact, long-lasting pantry ingredient in protective amber glass.
