Nagatanien Ume-Boshi Chazuke Instant Pickled-Plum Rice Soup 5-Pack — 30 Single-Serve Packets

Nagatanien Ume-Boshi Chazuke is an instant pickled-plum flavored ochazuke: sprinkle the seasoning over hot steamed rice and add boiling water for a quick, savory plum rice soup.

This five-pack contains five bags of Nagatanien Ume-Boshi Chazuke, each bag holding six single-serving seasoning packets. Designed for fast meals and authentic Japanese flavor at home, these individually portioned sachets pair tangy umeboshi notes with crunchy rice cracker pieces and green-tea seasoning to recreate the familiar ochazuke experience in under a minute.

How do I prepare Ume-Boshi Chazuke quickly?

Preparation is streamlined for convenience: place steamed rice in a bowl, sprinkle one packet of the seasoning mix, and pour hot water over it. The heat releases the green tea aroma and softens the crackers while the pickled plum taste flavors the rice.

• Use about 3.5 oz (100 g) of cooked rice per packet for the intended balance.
• Pour roughly 5 fl oz (150 ml) of boiling water over the seasoned rice.
• Stir gently and let sit 10–20 seconds for crackers to soften; serve immediately.

What flavor and ingredients should I expect?

The mix features a bright pickled-plum (umeboshi) profile layered over a green-tea base, with small salmon pieces and crunchy rice crackers for texture. Saltiness is moderate and the tart plum tang is the dominant note, giving a classic ochazuke balance.

• Tangy umeboshi seasoning for a refreshing acidic finish.
• Green tea base that adds aroma and warmth without heaviness.
• Included salmon flakes and crispy rice crackers for protein and crunch.

How many servings are in each purchase and how are they packaged?

This listing supplies five individual bags; each bag contains six single-serve seasoning packets, totaling 30 sachets. The small packets are shelf-stable and designed for one-person portions, making them handy for lunches, travel, or pantry-ready snacks.

• 5 bags × 6 packets per bag = 30 single servings.
• Individual sachets preserve freshness until opened.

Can I customize the chazuke to suit dietary preferences?

Yes—you can modify broth strength, add toppings, or pair with side dishes to match taste or dietary needs. Reduce the amount of seasoning for lower sodium or add extra ingredients like sliced vegetables, nori, or tofu for more substance.

• Use half a packet for a milder, less salty bowl.
• Add cooked vegetables or a soft-boiled egg for extra nutrition.
• Garnish with toasted seaweed or scallions to boost aroma and texture.
