I managed to track down some umeboshi paste at a Japanese supermarket in Subiaco, and no doubt could have bought the miso paste, shiitake mushies, and wakame leaf there also had I not already tracked it down in a couple of Asian shops prior. I wasn't sure how I was going to like this as the dried seaweed (wakame leaf) and shiitake mushies expand considerably in the water. Both DD and I really enjoyed it though. We thought this would be fabulous for those on the 5:2 diet on the starvation days as there is only about 60 calories a serve. Also added a little bit of leftover cooked chicken. Will definitely make again.
