Ume Hishio Pickled Plum & Sake Condiment

This is a smooth salty tangy and slightly sweet spread made of Umeboshi Plums. To make Ume Hishio, we de-salt the umeboshi plums (by soaking whole in water) and eliminate the pits, then cook slowly with sugar and sake. 

Great to put on steaming bowl of rice. Thin it a bit by adding water, you’ll have a delightful dipping sauce for vegetable sticks. 

Ingredients: ume plum, sea salt, red shiso leaves, sugar*, sake (*organic)
