Kenchanzuke Pickled Shiso & Umeboshi Furikake

Kenchanzuke’s Pickled Shiso & Umeboshi Furikake is made with just three ingredients: locally grown ume (Japanese plums), shiso leaves (red perilla), and salt. This Japanese-style savory sprinkle packs a refreshing umeboshi (pickled plum) and shiso aroma, balanced by a touch of sourness and natural umami from fermentation.

Based in the Izumo region of Shimane Prefecture, Kenchanzuke specializes in tsukemono (Japanese pickles) and believes in the power of fresh, high-quality vegetables to deliver bold flavors without any additives. The fermentation process naturally enhances the umami, flavor, and aroma of the plum and the shiso. Through careful processing, the pickled ingredients are turned into dried flakes packed with flavor.

Furikake is a Japanese seasoning blend typically sprinkled over rice, noodles, or other dishes to add flavor and texture. There are countless regional and specialty variations featuring unique flavors like Kenchanzuke’s with umeboshi and shiso. Furikake is a pantry staple in many Japanese households and has gained popularity worldwide for its ability to elevate simple meals effortlessly.
