You can be simply walking along, minding your own business, when you suddenly walk through a cloud of scent. But as opposed to the clear, refreshing wonder of the jasmine, a natto cloud can knock you flat on your back wondering what died, if you don't manage to run for cleaner air first. And umeboshi doesn't have a really powerful smell. But that's a topic for a future post.

And deny the rest of the world quite an experience in the process!! Jasmine reminds you of natto, but you’re going to talk about plum trees and keep the secret of umeboshi?
