Nona's Japanese Ume Dressing image

This is one of my many Japanese-style salad dressings I created to satisfy my taste. Ume(boshi) is a favored taste addition in many Japanese cooking. It shows up in cakes, cookies, snacks, mochi, salads, beverages, soups, with pork, chicken and fish, and of course dressing. You can find umeboshi in Japanese markets in refrigerated section. Ume is often called plum or pickled plums, however it is much closer to apricots. You can find ume trees in US now. Ume is not tasty fresh and must be either pickled or preserved.

I've made this dressing several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's so flavorful. I love it on salads, grilled chicken, and even as a marinade.

This dressing is delicious! The perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I used it on a salad of mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and grilled chicken. It was a hit with my family and friends.

This dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This is a great dressing for a light and refreshing salad. The flavors are well-balanced and the dressing is not too heavy.

The dressing was good, but it was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try thinning it out with a little water next time.

I found the dressing to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using low-sodium soy sauce next time.

This dressing is amazing! The combination of flavors is perfect, and it really elevates any salad. I will definitely be making this again.

I was expecting the dressing to be a bit more tangy, but it was actually quite mild. I ended up adding a bit of rice vinegar to give it a little more zip.
