Now you need to make a video of how to plant and maintain the Ume tree!
Yes could you do a video of planting and maintaining the tree
Hi @hieule8575,
I definitely can and it's currently in production - Thank you for your support and suggestion!
Hello! I am also interested in an Ume growing guide video. I hope it is still something you are working on. Thank you for your informative videos.
Wow! That looked so good! I wish I could still have alcohol but I made a choice to stop several years ago because I found out I had non alcoholic fatty liver and the next stage after that is cirrhosis if you don’t baby your liver so no more alcohol, no more acetaminophen, no more of anything that stresses the liver. I’d rather have a liver that will get me to to old age than drink alcohol so it’s a no brainer.
Hi @watrgrl2 !
I'm so very sorry to hear about your health issues, please prioritize that - I will make a non-alcoholic version for you to enjoy!
I wish you great health and continue enjoying your fountain of youth!
Thank you so much for showing your support for my channel!
Really like the mix of content, totally agree that looking at the care of the plant and then the use of the fruit or veg would make for some compelling videos!
Hi Tenzin,
I really love your comments and take careful consideration in suggestions!
I'm working on a video in regards to the care of the plant and how to use the defoliated leaves and branches.
You'd be surprised what you can do with them!
Thank you so much for supporting my channel!
Thank you for the instructions. Our Japanese markets just started selling the plums and umeshu kits. I can't wait to try!
Hi!
There are many ways to enjoy this, but there's never enough for summer!
Have you made any yet! Invite me over for a taste test!
Thank you so much for supporting my channel!
love this video. Not only is it beautifully made and super chilled to watch, but it's also incredibly interesting. Those cocktails look fantastic.
Hi BGeeTea!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I felt I could have done so much better :(
Overall I'm very happy to hear you've found it pleasing!
Thank you so much for supporting my channel!
looking for more garden videos personally but I love the preserved food as well. cat content would be awesome.
Hi Dooley!
Thank you for your request, I've taken that into great consideration along with all the other responses I've been getting.
It appears my method of explaining gardening topics break it down to the most simplest form and it's what everyone enjoys.
I hope to grow this channel to provide as much information I possibly can, surrounding organic gardening, sustainability and most of all delicious and healthy food!
Cheers!
Nice🤩
Great to see your new video..
holy fuck im in love with this channel
Hi Killerbite_,
Oh yea? I'm in
Nanko ume trees are actually impossible to find in Italy...i'm keep on searching. Ty for this new video!
Hi, you're very welcome!
I'm working on a video you may want to watch, it's regarding grafting and how to get your Ume to fruit and flower in the same year they're grafted. All you'll need is a rootstock adapted to your climate and a scion of the ume variety you're seeking.
I hope this future release will shed some light and encourage you to venture into expand your gardening skills :D
Thank you for the sub!
Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in the above video!
Hey Umami Garden! I really enjoyed the video! I found it extremely thorough and insightful with all the helpful little nuggets of information.
However after watching the video, I became a bit curious. Are there other traditional and non-traditional "fruit-shus", fruit infused shochus, made in Japan?
If there are, would you happen to know the recipes for them? And if there are none, would you happen to know why are they not made with other fruits?
I love this, I wish I could easily source the trees or the seeds in the US.
Hi Alyssa, I'm working on a video to address this.
Grafting, growing and caring for your Ume tree - I hope it'll be something you find useful!
Thanks for the idea!
@@UmamiGarden Wonderful! I managed to get some ume earlier this year and saved six of the seeds from the delivery. I'd love to know the method to germinate them. I haven't even cracked the outer pod yet while I've been researching. I look forward to the video! Is it true that it will take 10 years to get fruit once planted successfully?
@@agobelle Hi Alyssa, there are several methods to germinate the seeds, forcing entry for it to grow isn't ideal.
Scarification > Stratification is a useful method when approaching prunus seeds (Apricot, Cherry, Plum, Prune).
My recommended solution is to graft the variety, making sure you're able to source the scion cultivar you desire.
Seed grown it'll take 6-10 years, from my experience it's been 4-6 years for their first flower.
Now this doesn't mean they'll make a quality fruit or are the exact clone of their parents.
This is why grafting is recommended, it will ensure you're making an exact clone of the parent.
The video is in development, I hope to release it soon so it can help you with your gardening journey!
Just found your video and not much of a drinker but each New Years here I always try and get a bottle of Umeshu to Drink for the day ( normally its the small bottles they sell at a Variety Warehouse based Store I have near me )
Hi Destroyer804!
Do you enjoy it warm or chilled?
I love them chilled and topped with the umeboshi salt around the rim.
Insanely delicious! Salty, tart, sweet and bold taste - You'll have to try it to see what I mean! 🤤
It's similar to a Michelada, but with a more subtle taste.
If you have any Japanese or Korean markets in your area, look for Shiso or Umeboshi Furikake, make sure the ingredients don't have onions or it'll make your drink very unpleasant HAHAHAHA.
Thank you so much for supporting my channel, you're the best!
Just found your channel a day ago, love the videos. Amazing video and audio quality, pacing, and I love the content. Can't see how you're not going to boom in the next year.
Hi Jumiduss!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and optimistic outlook!
I have many videos currently in production, I hope they welcome everyone as they did for you.
In terms of popularity, I very much enjoy pleasing a niche crowd that appreciates the details I put into it, compared to a large audience that sees it differently.
Thank you so much for showing your
@@UmamiGarden I'll look forward to them. Regardless of the niche, found your video after watching some drama on the news. It's nice to have creators producing content detached from drama, & where they actually care about the stuff they talk about. You seem to enjoy the stuff you make and put yourself into it which is refreshing on this platform. Either way, good luck and have fun!
Damn you deserve at least 10 times more subs, keep up the good work man
Hi Drain Gang Uranium!
As long as I have 1/10 the subs of an audience that appreciates my detailed videos, I'm more than happy!
Thank you so much for supporting my channel, I'll have many more videos in different flavors published soon!
@@UmamiGarden That's so cool to hear, and yeah I really like your vids, I'm gonna ask a friend if she wants to watch the one about growing wasabi.
You’re so cool
No, you're even cooler!
Let's be friends!
Love the video! I had a couple questions I was hoping you may be able to help with. I'm actually growing some ume I got as grocery store ume a few years ago and they're starting to flower and hopefully fruit. First, can I cut open the umay to remove the pits so I can grow more seeds but still use the fruit to make to make umeshu? Second, do you have any idea if there is a Japanese store I may be able to access in the US that would sell other variety of ume scions so I can graft other varieties onto my existing plants?
I saw a guy like 6 months ago his channel name is "field days" and he made quality videos just like u do. Not many subscribers, he had like 10k when i found him. Now he almost got 1million subs. And i told him the same as i do to u. Just keep going with this quality content and u will get big someday. I wish u all the best and big growth in subscribers. I see you really like doing this, like gardening and so on and i wish that u will someday be able to live from ur hobbies. Keep going mate! :)
I'm curious. I know you say no sake because it's more potent. But if that's what I'm looking for is that possible. What are the possibilities to use other alcohol bases, such as vodka or whiskey.
Hi Jacquelin 👋
Shōchū has a very delicate and subtle alcohol taste, it doesn't overpower the taste of the ume essense.
When using Sake, it tends to overpower the flavors we seek in Umeshu, with this in mind if you prefer a more potent alcoholic flavor - Sake or Vodka works too!
Whisky is definitely a bold smoky and aged flavor, you may want to experiment by mixing a bit of it in the final product of the Umeshu to see how it tastes - In fact this might be a fantastic mixed drink on a summer day on the rocks!
Thank you so much for supporting my channel!
@@UmamiGarden I'm gonna do it with some vodka and whiskey and let you know how it goes!😆
Could I use umeboshi instead of ume?
I know what umeboshi is, but what is umeboshi salt?
Hi again Bengarland!
Umeboshi salt is the crushed sun dried Shiso, there are remains of salt, juices and Shiso.
It's a very delicious condiment , very popular in Japan, used as Furikake!
Thank you!
