Its vinegar-like tanginess adds a rich flavour to a wide variety of dishes including salads, dips, vegetables, dressings, for pickling and even as a secret ingredient in cocktails.

Ume Su

"Asian dishes are one of my favourite to prepare and this adds an important and authentic flavour to them. Ive long been a fan of Clearspring for quality and taste."

— Philippa R. (5/5)

Addictive umami tang

"I always reach for this if I'm having a fattier than usual salad. It's salty and tangy but with that unique flavour of fermented sour plums. It's not as sour as the Ume paste, and therefore perhaps not as polarising. I love both, but this is so convenient to add to a salad!"

— Suzie C. (5/5)

Received free, Very strong salty

"Received free, Very strong salty flavour. Would be useful in cooking"

— Callum A. (5/5)

Delicious

"Great addition to ,any dishes, and even yummy in its own :)"

— Joni M. (5/5)

Love this stuff

"Oh gee I love this stuff it’s so delicious!! I just douse steamed veggies in it, or it’s also great in a salad as part of the dressing. It’s salty so you don’t need additional salt, and has an umami vinegar taste. Im also so impressed that it tastes like vinegar without being actual vinegar bcos I generally try and avoid vinegar. I stocked up on several bottles last time I shopped!!"
