Discover Eden Umeboshi Paste

From an ancient kitchen tradition, Eden Umeboshi Paste blends sun-dried ume plums with red shiso leaves and careful aging to yield a bright, tangy puree. Crafted in Japan from the prized nanko plum, this 7 oz jar carries a clean profile with no MSG or artificial additives. The result is a versatile ingredient that can elevate a wide range of dishes with its crisp acidity and savory depth.

In every scoop, you’ll notice a balance of tart brightness and earthy, savory undertones. The ume plums’ natural citric bite meets a subtle tang, while the red shiso infusion adds a herbaceous lift. The product’s long aging process, followed by sun drying, concentrates flavors into a smooth, spreadable paste that blends easily into dressings, sauces, and glazes.
