Kougyoku Kome Umeboshi (Red Jewel Small Plum Ume) uses domestically produced plums and features small, easy-to-eat bite-sized pieces.

Ideal for rice balls, these small plums have a moderate tartness and a distinctive shiso (perilla leaf) aroma, making them delicious!

They are pickled with small plums cultivated by contracted farmers in Nara Yoshino and Kishu, and red shiso grown organically in Nara Yoshino and Kishu, using the traditional sea salt "Umi no Sei."

They contain twice the amount of red shiso used in typical umeboshi, resulting in a vivid crimson color.

The mellow acidity of the plums ripened on the tree, combined with the delicious saltiness of the traditional sea salt "Umi no Sei," creates a simple yet profound flavor.

No reduced salt, no added sugars or amino acids are included, so you can also expect the medicinal benefits of traditional umeboshi.

＜Umi no Sei's Commitment＞

〇 Production Area Principles

Ingredients and manufacturing locations are within Japan, except for spices and other ingredients that cannot be grown in Japan, such as sesame seeds, which are used only when absolutely necessary.

〇 Raw Material Principles

Agricultural products are grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, using non-GMO, open-field, seasonal produce. Marine products are sourced from nearby natural waters. Livestock products are generally not used. No chemical additives or pharmaceuticals are used at all.

〇 Manufacturing Principles

Traditional, natural, and physical methods are employed. Modern, artificial, or chemical methods are avoided. Even when mechanization is used to reduce labor, the basic processes remain unchanged.

〇 Ingredient Principles

The natural balance of ingredients is valued. Over-purification or excessive removal of specific components through extraction, refining, or synthesis is avoided.

〇 Taste Principles

The original flavors of the ingredients are preserved. Seasoning is based on salt to enhance the natural taste, avoiding artificial flavor enhancers, sweeteners, acids, or salt flavors that create arbitrary tastes.

〇 Philosophical Principles

Respect is given to the traditional food systems developed over thousands of years by our ancestors. When creating new foods, principles such as "Shin-to Funi" (unity of body and earth), "Ippon Zenta" (whole of one thing), and "Yin-Yang Harmony" are strictly followed.
