Sis fave ko tong umeboshi dito sa Japan pero never heard of nakakapayat to halos araw araw ako kumakain nito sis tsaka nagdadiet din ako lessen food intake na talaga taba ko na eh dried umeboshi yung kinakain ko palagi pero napansin ko lang sis dito is pag gutom ako minsan walang makitang snack ito nalang pinapapak ko nakakawala ng gutom masarap yung pagkaasim na may salty and sweet twist ng dried umeboshi.

ang asim nito, grabe. i bought some for my bento for work, gumawa ako ng hinomaru bento. di ko rin naubos yung nagiisang umeboshi na nilagay ko. antibacterial daw ito kaya it can help keep the freshness of your rice.

if you are in makati, you can get umeboshi at the veggie section of hatchin japanese grocery (sacred heart, kamagong). yung dun sa may section ng tindahan ng pickles in plastic bags, etc.
