Umami-so Ume Plum and Yuzu is a unique and sophisticated seasoning blend that combines the savoury depth of natural umami with the bright, acidic notes of yuzu and the tart complexity of ume plum.
The creation of the range of Umami-so seasonings involved five years of dedicated research and development to perfect the balance of flavours, resulting in a concentrated seasoning that is both robust and complex.
Umami-so blends are among the first completely natural umami powder concentrates on the market. They are made from a base of barley and soy miso along with salt and natural flavourings, ensuring a product that is free from artificial additives.
This seasoning is rich in glutamic acid and inosinic acid, both of which are key components responsible for the umami taste. These compounds are naturally present in miso and are known for their ability to enhance and deepen the flavours of other ingredients, making dishes taste more savoury and complex.
Yuzu, a citrus fruit native to Japan, offers a tart, aromatic, and slightly floral flavor. The yuzu used in this blend comes from Miyazaki, known for producing some of the finest yuzu in the world. This adds a refreshing and complex citrus note to the seasoning.
Ume plum is a Japanese fruit known for its tartness and complex flavor profile, which includes both sour and slightly sweet notes. It adds a distinctive tangy depth to the seasoning.
