For 80 years since the establishment of our company, we have helped with the development of farming and regional economies through the use of many local vegetables. While upholding traditions from our company’s founding, we carefully make tasty pickled goods through old methods and skills in a modern factory.
Soboro natto has long been eaten in Mito, the home of natto (fermented soybeans). It is seasoned with chopped dried radish. Thanks to its subtle taste and flavor, it is very easy to eat and easy to make arranged dishes. It goes great with rice or even with noodles.
Using only Japanese plums (ume) from Kairaku-en, Mito, we have recreated the "Shikinbai" invented by Lord Tokugawa Nariaki of the Mito domain who was the father of the last Shogun, the 15th Tokugawa Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu. It is an excellent product made without using any chemical seasonings.
This is a full-scale umeboshi that is finished with only salt using the Fukuyui brand of plums from Mito City. You can feel the balance of rich plum aroma and saltiness and sourness.
