Umeboshi Plum Vinegar With Red Shiso

Red Ume-Vinegar is made from the liquid in the bottom of the barrel in which umeboshi are preserved for up to 5 years. This liquid is then enriched with Japanese shiso-herbs which gives it the red color. It is a perfect ingredient for salad dressing that are to be a little bit sour. It also is an important ingredient for making Japanese pickles such as pickled sakura.
