Authentic Japanese UmeboshiEden Ume Plum Vinegar is the treasured by-product of the pickling of umeboshi plums; the liquid brine left over after pickling the plums. In Japan it is known as 'ume su' that means plum vinegar. |
Traditional ProductionThis salty, tangy, ruby red vinegar is delicious sprinkled over cooked vegetables (especially members of the cabbage family). It adds zing to salad dressings and dips, and is great for making other pickled or preserved foods. When substituting ume plum vinegar for other vinegar, reduce substantially or eliminate the salt in the recipe. |
Pure Ingredients – No MSG or PreservativesEden Ume Plum Vinegar is rich in organic acids. It has 4.3 percent acidity. While the natural red color of Eden Ume Plum Vinegar is due to the red shiso leaves, commercial manufacturers of umeboshi plums and vinegar use chemical dyes to impart the red color that is characteristic of these products. Eden Ume Plum Vinegar contains no chemicals, dyes, preservatives or additives. |
Product Description
Eden Ume Plum Vinegar is the essence of umeboshi, its pickling brine.

"Ume" ("plum," or "wild plum"), is the fruit of a tree that grows in Asia.. This tree fruit is known as the "Japanese apricot," which is the
central ingredient of a unique Japanese condiment or food known as "umeboshi." a condiment which is a traditional, very popular, and widely used in Japanese cuisine.
Umeboshi is widely used in Japan as a seasoning applied to rice consumed as a breakfast food. The seasoning flavor of Umeboshi is also noted to have a particular affinity for application to members of the cabbage family.
"Umeboshi" is produced from dried, unripe "ume" plums, which are inedible in their natural state, which are soaked and pickled in a brine solution containing sea salt, to which is added another unique Asian botanical ingredient which imparts a red color and added flavor to the Umeboshi.
Umeboshi is highly salty, but is supposed to employ sea salt, which is highly mineralized and alkaline, and does not pose the health hazard of table salt.
My interest in Umeboshi is that, PARADOXICALLY, in spite of the highly acidic content - in their natural state - of the ingredients of Umeboshi, Umeboshi has an alkalizing effect on the body.
This alkalizing effect of the highly acidic Umeboshi reminds me of the equally paradoxical effect of another citric food - either fresh lemons or fresh limes - which in their natural state are acidic, but once consumed and metabolized by the body, have an alkalizing effect on the body.
The alkalizing effect of Umeboshi may not be available in this Eden foods Ume Plum vinegar, which is a processed food product and may not have the natural enzymes that produce health benefits. However, This Eden food product probably does impart the unique seasoning taste - one of its merits - of Umeboshi made from natural, organic ingredients.
Umeboshi is widely believed to posses healing properties. However, any such natural healing properties may not be present in Umeboshi which is not made from natural, organic ingredients.
The availability of Eden foods Ume Plum vinegar, by mail order on Amazon, is extremely convenient for a consumer, as Ume Plum food products (e.g., Ume Plum paste, or Ume Plums) are usually only available in Japanese or Oriental food stores, or in rare health food stores in cosmopolitan cities.
For additional information on Umeboshi see, inter alia, Chapter10, "Umeboshi: Venerable Pickled Plums," in JAPANESE FOODS THAT HEAL, by John and Jan Belleme.
As a unique new food seasoning, Umeboshi has a special attraction to people, like me, who are interested in adapting to an alkaline diet (or even a vegan diet), which are in need of alkaline food seasonings, or who are on heart-healthy diets, and discover that the range of food seasoning choices previously available to them are drastically curtailed.
My four star rating for this condiment is a mark of this food's unique novelty and merit as a food seasoning, for people who want to experiment for their palate. Something new to include in one's pantry!
I purchased this for cocktails and I’ve been playing around with mezcal, gin, and plum wine drinks using a dash of this vinegar + a shiso liqueur I found in California. I can see this being good in a dipping sauce or salad dressing as well.
As others have noted, this vinegar isn’t super “vinegar-y.” It’s more like a saline/salty solution. If you have tried umeboshi it’ll be pretty similar to that taste, just a little more salty and less tart than the actual thing. Personally that’s what I wanted, but please keep that in mind if you purchase this product.
