Aka Umezu Red Shiso Perilla Ume Plum Vinegar 1kg

Tarunoaji Aka Umezu Red Shiso Perilla Ume Plum Vinegar is a traditional Japanese seasoning crafted from the brining process of ume plums with red shiso leaves. Known for its vivid red color and sharp, salty-sour flavor, this vinegar is a byproduct of umeboshi (pickled plums) production and carries the natural aroma and taste of shiso.

In Japan, umezu has been used for centuries not only as a seasoning but also as a natural food preservative. Its distinctive tartness enhances pickles, salads, dressings, and marinades, while also adding a refreshing depth to traditional Japanese cuisine. Because it’s naturally derived from plums and shiso, it reflects an authentic taste of Japanese food heritage.

This 1kg bottle is ideal for frequent use in cooking or for those who wish to bring a traditional Japanese ingredient into their kitchen pantry.
