Umeboshi apricots: A traditional Japanese superfood

Umeboshi apricots are a Japanese delicacy. They are pickled, giving them a distinct umami flavor. Umeboshi apricots have been central to Japanese cuisine for more than 1,000 years.

The umeboshi apricots are picked when they are just beginning to ripen and are then fermented in vats with red shiso leaves. This gives the umeboshi their characteristic orange-red color and umami aroma.

Our umeboshi are unique because we use only ingredients from organic farming. This ensures you can enjoy the pure taste of umeboshi apricots. Additionally, our fermentation process differs from most others. Our umeboshi are first salted and then aged with lactic acid bacteria. With every bite, you also receive a healthy dose of probiotics.
