UMEBOSHI

Umeboshi is a dried, salt pickled Japanese plum
colored with shiso ( perilla, labiate ) leaves
which are pickled along with them.

*****
We have long rainy season from early June to the middle of July which called "Tsuyu 梅雨".　.
梅 means plum fruit and 雨 means rain.
In the rainy season, plum trees have fruits

Umeboshi s very sour, but good for your health and
also good for stimulating appetite.
