Rainy season in Japan coincides with an abundance of Japanese plums (or apricots!) called "ume". Ume are unique in taste. They're too sour to be eaten as they are but make a wonderful, fruity and flavorful ingredient to turn into pickles, syrup, jams and drinks. With just two ingredients you can make this delicious ume syrup!
