Japanese Umeboshi Plum Paste with Shiso (8.8 oz/250g) - Pickled Plum, Gluten Free, Vegan, Plum Sauce Asian, Japanese Food, Onigiri, Sushi, Yakitori, Sashimi, Umeboshi Paste - Kinjirushi Wasabi

this is a wonderful product - little drizzle over tofu and rice and i am very happy!

Delicious

This is definitely a good alternative to whole umeboshi if they are unavailable or just not convenient. It's very convenient to use and lasts a long time because the flavor is very strong so only a little needs to be used at a time (unless you're like me who will down a tablespoon at a time lol). However, I do find that the paste one does not have the same delicious texture as umeboshi, and two does not have the same fruity fragrance or taste. It seems to trade a bit of that for a more salty taste, which is fine but when I'm eating umeboshi rice balls I find using the paste a little underwhelming. All in all, a fine alternative and definitely a more convenient option to get the pickled plum flavor, but it can't beat using real, whole umeboshi.

Lip-smacking good! I got the version without shiso also, but this one with shiso is so much better. Delicious!

Great for sushi, chicken, veggies!!Authentic Japanese brand !

Delicious with rice or rice ball / musubi. Just a tiny bit for a burst of flavor, somewhat like wasabi, in that it has a kick. My grandmother always made me rice ball with a plum seed in the center. This paste is like condensed version of the plum seed.

That PoP! of sour is missing. This is a mild version of umeboshi. My son likes it, though, so I continue to buy it for him.

Salty & Tart! So fantastic with Kewpie on Avocado with furikake! Ume fans, this is divine.
