Synopsis

In this class about the macrobiotic lifestyle, the skill of mindfulness will be introduced. 

Macrobiotic umeboshi (pickled Japanese plums) help improve our appetite and digestive system.  It’s simple to make homemade umeboshi, and they have none of the chemical additives usually found in commercial products.  It takes three months for umeboshi to be ready for use in sushi, dips, sauces and salad dressings, and for seasoning vegetables.

Ume juice is made of vegetable root sweet (a natural sweetener) and ume (plums).  It is natural and non-alcoholic. 

Ume sake is made of ume, handmade rock sugar and Japanese 25% shouchu.  The fermentation process takes 6-12 months. The longer it takes (3-5 years), the tastier the sake will be.  No commercial sweeteners are used, so the taste remains natural and pure.

1.         To learn how to use macrobiotic umeboshi in our daily life to improve our health, focusing on our appetite and digestive system
