I have been dreaming of Um...I can't believe it! I have been dreaming of Ume Scallion Dressing for over 6 years, since I had to move from Great Barrington area to (!) Michigan!! I bought Eden's Ume Plum Vinegar yesterday, determined to somehow make a variation of the beloved Magical Dressing. When I read your blog, I knew it had to be Bizen. Small World. I will run out and grab some watercress and mix up a batch tonight. I can hardly wait.<br />Thank you! Thank you!! <br />PS - my first time ever chiming in but I just had to thank you.

Ume dressing is definitely one of the best things about Great Barrington, so I'm happy you can transport it when you need it.alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799935582310923080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550235196991576571.post-37866868383953062032009-06-23T18:13:02.391-07:002009-06-23T18:13:02.391-07:00Hi Sue.. Sorry for some reason I have not seen you...Hi Sue.. Sorry for some reason I have not seen your question until now, but if you're still looking for the magical vinegar amount, I would start with 2-3 tablespoons and go with your taste from there. This seems to be an often visited post though, so I will update it soon with exact measurements- this dressing is so good that we should definitely be more scientific about it, I think.alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799935582310923080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550235196991576571.post-13455263008835092932009-06-23T17:43:23.097-07:002009-06-23T17:43:23.097-07:00I went to Bizen for the first time last winter and...I went to Bizen for the first time last winter and have not been back...we moved down south...ANYWAY, I have been trying to find the mysterious "green" dressing recipe and this DOES seem to be it!

I'm sure you've made this many more times since you originally posted it.<BR/><BR/>This is that swoony good dressing from Bizen in Great Barrington, and you're right: I'd do anything to be able to make it at home.
