With its very tangy and sharp flavour, you'll love ume shisho paste.

This is a handy paste tube of umeboshi (pickled Japanese plums) seasoned with a Japanese herb called shiso.

Japanese ume plums that have long been a vital part of Japanese cuisine and folk medicine. This umeboshi paste is made from the finest quality ume, salt and red shiso using traditional methods.

Umeboshi is traditionally very good for digestion. Umeboshi paste is very concentrated so you only need a small amount.
