Very versatile
I was pleasantly surprised these umeboshi were tender and easy to handle. First, I like to make hot umeboshi tea by adding one to a large cup f hot water to sooth upset stomach, or cold. When using to cook, remove the seed and make a paste t add to pasta seasoning, make sushi (umekyu), macaroni salad by mixing umeboshi and mayonaise, etc. It is not cheap but the effect it has on my prepared foods make it all worth it. This brand was the best one I found in Amazon so far.

Tasty but pricey
Tastes nice. I took put the pits and chopped them into small pieces for onigiri. Theyre just pretty expensive

Oishii
Everyone has their favorite umeboshi. Mine are homemade by my neighbor in Nagoya, so they're not exactly available here in the US. These come as close to any of the many types I've tried to purchase from Amazon. They are a balance of salty and sour, and just a tiny bit sweet to take the edge off. I only wish they would come packed with more shiso.

Mellow flavor, not too salty
The liquid from the umeboshi leaked out and onto other contents in my box. Including masks. The flavor of these is very mellow which is nice to switch things up sometimes. Not salty which is good. However I don't know if I'd buy again cause I'm pretty sure the price is really marked up.

Not sour
I bought these because I've heard umeboshi plums are super sour, but these were just salty and nothing else. Also, they aren't pitted, so you have to deal with the seeds, but you get a bunch so the value's ok.
