What's UMEBOSHI?

Umeboshi are a popular kind of Japanese tsukemono ('pickled thing'; preserved or fermented) and are extremely sour and salty.

They are usually served as a side dish for rice or eaten on rice balls (often without removing the pit) for breakfast and lunch. 

These very rare umeboshi are made by removing the seeds from pickled plums at a plum farm, drying them using the freeze-drying method (freeze-drying), and then making them into flakes.

One 38g bag is equivalent to 300g of fresh pickled plums.
