What does it taste like?

[Kiana]

I've never tasted umeboshi before and was wondering what it tastes like before I go out and buy some, I know some use it as a filling in onigiri! But that's about it, help please!

Have you ever had the Japanese plum wine-umeshu? I think they use the same plums so take that plum flavor and make it salty to give you a start. Maybe others will add another layer of flavor in their descriptions.
