Yumé Boshi, nestled in the heart of Oakland, CA, is a small but passionate food producer dedicated to crafting traditional Japanese preserves. Their approach harkens back to the time-honored methods of Japanese grandmothers, creating each batch with care, patience, and artisanal precision. By relying on simple yet high-quality ingredients like sea salt and organic cane sugar, Yumé Boshi ensures that every jar captures the authentic flavors of Japan. All their fresh ingredients, such as ume plums and red shiso leaves, are locally sourced from California's fertile orchards, guaranteeing both freshness and sustainability.
However, Yumé Boshi’s mission extends beyond merely making preserves. They are deeply committed to preserving the vanishing art of traditional preserve-making, a cultural heritage that is increasingly rare, even in Japan itself. Through their dedication, they offer a taste experience reminiscent of bygone days, presenting flavors and quality that are hard to find in modern Japanese homes. By weaving local Californian produce with ancient Japanese techniques, Yumé Boshi bridges the gap between cultures and generations, bringing the soul of Japanese culinary tradition to contemporary tables.
