The key ingredient is actually the UME.

With reference to wiki, Umeboshi ( 梅干) are pickled ume fruits common in Japan. Ume (Prunus mume) is a species of fruit-bearing tree in the genus Prunus, which is often called a plum but is actually more closely related to the apricot. Umeboshi are a popular kind of tsukemono (pickles) and are extremely sour and salty. They are usually served as side dishes for rice or stuffed inside of rice balls (sometimes without removing their seeds inside) for breakfast and lunch. They are occasionally served boiled or seasoned for dinner.

You can use it with pasta too. It is believe to contain health properties that good for digestion, prevention of nausea, and for systemic toxicity, including hangovers. It is anti aging too.
