It can also mean "acidic" however umeboshi are quite sour. I do not know the place others can locate it, but the package deal size and design screams typical "konbini" (comfort retailer) fare in Japan. The producer's press data says that it has ume (plum) tea to refresh, but the package deal calls it "soup". Mind you, I usually don't make my soup in a transparent drinking glass, but did so to get an image for my readers. After laying the gummy down on the plate so as to get an image of it, I found why this was packaged as it was. Sorry for the mangy image. It has purple or black skin, green flesh, and clingstone. Managed to get seven planters for the bushes, I've two black cherry, two plum and a pear, cherry and apple trees. I bought a second-hand automobile seat so I can take youngest and nearest granddaughter out to toddler teams or no matter after new baby arrives; had a much wanted hair minimize and another chunk went on vegetable seeds and the moth traps for the apple and plum bushes. That is something that I at all times affiliate with life in Japan and i can say that I have never seen someone try this since returning to the U.S.
