@rural_japan_days: 【124】Traditional Japanese Preserved Food Completed | Living in the Japanese Countryside The traditional Japanese preserved food, umeboshi, which I started making earlier. After drying them outside for three days and nights during a stretch of sunny days, I’ve finished my very first umeboshi! They can be enjoyed as they are, or by pickling them with red shiso (perilla leaves), which enhances both the flavor and their shelf life. #JapanLife #RuralJapan #OldHouseJapan #CountryLife #slowliving
