Shirakiku Shiso Umeboshi are traditional Japanese pickled plums seasoned with red shiso (perilla leaves), packed in a large 2.2 lb (1 kg) resealable plastic tub. Produced in Japan and distributed by Wismettac Asian Foods, these umeboshi deliver a classic salty, tangy, and slightly sour flavor with a subtle herbal note from the shiso perilla. Each tub contains approximately 36 servings of about 3 plums each.

Umeboshi are a staple of Japanese cuisine and are commonly enjoyed with steamed rice, stuffed inside onigiri (rice balls), added to ochazuke (rice with tea), used in salad dressings, dipping sauces, noodle dishes, and sandwiches. The shiso variety provides a distinctive reddish color and a balanced perilla flavor that makes these plums especially versatile. Sold in a case of 6 at Costco, this tub is ideal for Asian grocery enthusiasts, Japanese home cooks, or foodservice use.
