CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PURITY IN FOOD Eden Umeboshi Plum Paste 7 oz — Nanko sun‑dried, red shiso, tangy umami

Eden Umeboshi Plum Paste is a 7-ounce jar of sun-dried, red shiso-infused nanko plum puree from Japan, offering a tangy, savory-sour seasoning for sushi, rice, dressings and traditional recipes.

This umeboshi paste is made from the prized nanko plum variety: sun-dried, pickled, flavored with red shiso (beefsteak) leaves and aged for a year to develop concentrated tartness and umami. Packaged by CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PURITY IN FOOD and produced in Japan, the paste arrives as a thick, spoonable puree that dissolves into dressings or blends into rice dishes. It’s a pantry ingredient that adds bright acidity, salty depth and the characteristic plum aroma of classic umeboshi without the whole-fruit texture.

How can I use this umeboshi paste in everyday cooking?

Use the paste as a quick flavor booster for simple dishes—just a small amount goes a long way. It smooths into sauces and dressings, seasons rice and sushi, and can be whisked into marinades and dips for immediate brightness.

• Stir 1–2 teaspoons into a vinaigrette for sharp acidity and savory depth
• Blend with soy sauce and sesame oil for a sushi or rice ball filling
• Whisk into mayonnaise to create a tangy dip or spread
• Mix into warm porridge (okayu) or steamed rice as a finishing seasoning

What are the main flavor and ingredient points to expect?

The taste profile is intensely tart with saline umami and the herbal note of red shiso. Because the paste is concentrated, a little delivers pronounced acidity and plum aroma without added sugars or fats.

• Made from nanko plums—known for juicy pulp and high citric acid
• Sun-dried, pickled and aged for one year for concentrated flavor
• Infused with red shiso leaves for an herbal, slightly floral tang
• No fat or sugars per serving; 340 mg sodium per serving

How should I store and measure the paste for best results?

Keep the jar refrigerated after opening to preserve aroma and color; use clean utensils to avoid contamination. Measure sparingly when introducing it to recipes—the paste is potent, so start small and adjust to taste.

• Refrigerate after opening and use within a reasonable period for peak flavor
• Spoon out small portions with a clean utensil to maintain quality
