Aki's Japanese Recipes for Vegans's video: Japanese Seaweed Umeboshi Soup

One of the unique qualities of Umeboshi includes the fact that it's great for digestion. Therefore, I can recommend to eat this soup in the next morning after drinking alcohol or eating too much. Also, because of its extremely sour flavour, this gives it the properties of a stimulant which tends to keep you wide awake. I know some athletes like to eat before a match to stimulate their bodies and increases concentration. You can use different kinds of seaweed for this soup but I wouldn't recommend Kombu because it’s too hard for this dish. (It's edible and delicious to eat though.) Use softer seaweeds such as Wakame, Aosa or Hijiki. I used Arame this time. I have offered Umeboshi to friends abroad and to be honest, almost all of them didn’t like it! lol So, it definitely has an acquired taste and it can be considered a Japanese delicacy! Try Umeboshi once in a lifetime! ;) ___________________________________________________ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JapaneseRecipesForVegansByAkihiroYasui/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/akihiro.yasui/ _____________________________________________________ Here you can see my sustainable documentary film project "Earthackers": Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIT_fFOs5cD5lLLpAugq1qA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Earthackers/ Website: https://www.earthackers.com/ _____________________________________________________ Music from my great friend of jazz guitarist, Masato Shimokajiya: Email: shimoshimo0130@gmail.com _____________________________________________________ Equipment: Camera: Sony a7 iii Lens: Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 DiIII RXD A036 Tripod: Marsace MT-2541 Microphone: Rode Video Mic Pro Rycote VMPR Software: Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC
