"Osawa's Ryujin Umeboshi (small plum)" (150g), brought to you by Osawa Japan, an organic-oriented health food manufacturer, is a traditionally made pickled plum made using plums and red shiso from Wakayama Prefecture, a famous plum-producing region.
The ingredients are plums and shiso grown without the use of any pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and the product is carefully sun-dried without any additives.
Many people may not be familiar with Ryujin Ume, but over 50 tons are produced every year deep in the mountains of Wakayama Prefecture, and these umeboshi are known only to those in the know, with many passionate fans saying, "It has to be Ryujin Ume."
However, due to recent abnormal weather, plum harvests have been poor across the country recently.
Umeboshi are a tradition that is essential to the Japanese people, and I have a deep personal attachment to them, wanting to preserve it.
Characterized by a rich aroma and mellow acidity, we hope you enjoy the deep flavor of traditional salty umeboshi.
This natural food is perfect for health-conscious people, and can also be safely consumed in children's lunch boxes or as a snack with tea.

About the distributor "Ohsawa Japan" - a pioneer of macrobiotics
Osawa Japan is a leading Japanese natural food manufacturer that has been promoting macrobiotics (dietary therapy) since its founding in 1945.
The founder was Yukikazu Sakurazawa (1893-1966), a world-renowned advocate of macrobiotics.
Based on the philosophy that "food can change the mind and body," we continue to pass on traditional Japanese food culture, centered on grain-based vegetarian diets, to the modern day.
Osawa Japan only sells products that meet two strict standards: "natural food quality standards" and "macrobiotic quality standards."
Their strict commitment to prioritizing organic farming, no food additives, no genetically modified crops, domestically produced produce, no animal ingredients, no refined sugar, and traditional manufacturing methods has earned them high praise from macrobiotic practitioners around the world.
