We've created a sour yet gentle umeboshi (pickled plum) using only additive-free, fully ripened Nanko ume plums, mineral-rich sun-dried salt, and honey. These umeboshi are made with care, one by one, without any preservatives, additives, or artificial sweeteners. We want you to experience the authentic taste of umeboshi that farmers have enjoyed for generations, so we've pickled them without any additives or sweeteners. *Unlike sweet, flavored honey umeboshi that use sweeteners, these umeboshi are made only with honey, so they have a sour taste. Please consider them completely different from flavored umeboshi.* While shiroboshi (plain pickled plums) are additive-free and gentle on the body, they can be difficult to eat due to their high salt content and intense sourness. Sweet umeboshi are easier to eat, but you might be concerned about sweeteners and preservatives. These are recommended for those people. Enjoy them as they are, or use them in ochazuke (rice with tea), luxurious umeboshi shochu, or with sashimi instead of wasabi! They also go well with meat and fish dishes. We are selling high-quality Kishu Nanko ume plums at farmer's prices. Please give them a try. *Because we are selling them at an affordable price, the packaging is simple. Please consult with us if you would like to use them as a gift.* *Due to the farmer's price, the umeboshi may vary in size and may include some with scratches or cuts. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfect ones.* *Because these are completely additive-free umeboshi, the expiration date is shorter than that of umeboshi with preservatives and sweeteners.* *We make each umeboshi with care after receiving your order. It will take some time to ship. Thank you for your understanding.* Salt content: Approximately 10% (This is just a guideline.) Expiration date: 1 month from the date of shipment. We make each umeboshi with care after receiving your order. These are low-salt umeboshi pickled only with ume plums, salt, and honey.
