If all else fails, Amazon also carries a lot of the Shirakiku varieties. These in particular are what I have right now, though I purchased them locally: https://www.amazon.com/Hachimitsu-Umeboshi-Honey-Pickled-Plum/dp/B00886N4D8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=shirakiku+umeboshi&qid=1554134852&s=grocery&sr=1-1

I know most stores refrigerate them, but being heavily preserved, they're pretty shelf stable...I know when I was visiting Hawaii, Longs (Walgreens) had them out on shelves with no refrigeration, and they were just fine...I flew some home with me cross country, and they didn't suffer in the least.

It is usually translated as pickled plums but it is salt cured Japanese plums. They are salty and have a bold unami flavor. Usually mixed in with rice as a condiment. I have heard of putting them in drinks like a pickled onion but never tried it.
Here is an example on Amazon but I normally get mine at a local import store.
Very popular in Japan. Where did you get the plums?
