Description

Do you like yuzu kosho? Discover ume kosho, a seasoning made from the flesh of the Benisaishi ume plum (a renowned plum from the Fukui region, tender and juicy) and red chili peppers grown in Kyushu. The mixture is fermented in a marinade of salt and spices, then ground.

Flavor

The palate is rich and fruity, with moderate acidity and spiciness. The acidity of the plums is evident from the first bite, soon overtaken by the spiciness of the red peppers, which adds a spicy touch and accentuates the flavor of your dishes.

Conservation

Store in a cool place (ideally in the refrigerator). After opening, keep refrigerated and consume quickly.

The producer

Tonami Shoyu

Tonami Shoyu is a company producing condiments and more specifically soy sauce which began operations in 1935 in the Shogawa City, which is crossed by the Sho River and known for its hot springs and calcium-rich waters. When it was founded, Tonami Shoyu put the preservation of the traditional flavors of the region at the heart of its concerns, particularly that of Toyama soy sauce, known for being slightly milder than traditional soy sauce. In addition to this, the company places great importance on producing healthy and umami-rich products. To do this, it uses locally produced ingredients like soybeans or elsewhere in Japan like wheat.
