This product is made by Yano Noen, a family-owned Japanese plum farm located in Oita Prefecture. This is a paste version of umeboshi pickled plum.
This type of umeboshi is called neriume, or umeboshi paste. By removing the seed from each umeboshi and mashing it, you can readily eat it or use it as a seasoning paste to add a sour punch to dishes.
Like normal umeboshi made by Yano Noen, it is seasoned with salt and shiso (red perilla) without additives, so you can experience classic Japanese pickled plum that features a strong taste of sourness and saltiness.
Mix this umeboshi paste with soy sauce to create a fruity dipping sauce. It is also nice to use it with dashi soup so that you can enjoy both umami and tangy flavors.
While you can directly eat this product (Yano Farm says that this is the best way to enjoy it), you can use it as a condiment with various dishes.
Here are the other recommended uses recommended by the Yano Noen: ingredient for filling of stuffed meat rolls, garnish of gyoza dipping sauce, mixing it with mayo and mirin, etc.
Keep this product in a cool and dark place.

- RKRen K.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars9/25/26Unpleasant aftertaste
A high-end product I was expecting great things from. But unfortunately there's an unpleasant aftertaste that is slightly plastic or chemical flavour. Will not be ordering again!
JTJapanese Taste INT9/28/26Hello Ren,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the flavor and aftertaste did not meet your expectations. This umeboshi paste has a naturally strong sour and salty flavor from Japanese ume plums, shiso, and salt, but we understand that the taste may not be to everyone’s preference.

I liked the plum paste, I can just add it to my rice, or make onigiri. Very good product.
