Umeshigoto.
Some people in Japan enjoy making plum wine or plum juice at home- a seasonal activity known as umeshigoto, which literally means plum work.
This tradition usually takes place between mid-May and mid-June, when fresh green plums become available in shops.
I’m planning to make plum wine, plum juice and plum miso this year.

This nikomi is another incredibly tasty pork dish from my absolute favorite izakaya.Different parts of pork are simmered in a soy sauce-based broth in a big hot pot. Under all the pork, you’ll find tofu that’s been quickly simmered and has soaked up all the flavour. I always order a boiled egg as a topping- it’s cooked in the same pot and tastes amazing.On top, there’s chunky chopped leek, Japanese mustard, and I usually sprinkle some shichimi, a Japanese chilli spice.The umami is deep, and the flavour and texture are rich and complex. Honestly, it’s hard to describe just how good it is- but one thing’s for sure: it goes perfectly with a beer!
