My grandparents had an ume (plum) tree in their garden and made their own pickles. I love to use umeboshi in sushi as they have a very sour taste that works well with other ingredients, such as cucumber and aromatic shiso leaves. Shiso leaf is the Japanese name for perilla leaf, a perennial herb in the mint family. Shiso comes in green or purple leaves with a slightly prickly texture and pointy, jagged edges, and it has a unique and vibrant taste that I could describe as herbaceous and Like most leafy herbs, I find it is best used raw, the leaves whole or chiffonaded. Make spring rolls with shiso and mushrooms.
