I recommend ume plum vinegar. It's a very special ingredient made with Japanese plums. It has a distinctive flavor, so I don't recommend substituting a different vinegar for this one. Do what you must to get your hands on it (though that really should not be difficult). I buy Eden brand ume plum vinegar at Whole Foods. You can also find it online. This ingredient is very salty, which is why there is absolutely no added salt in the recipe. Use salt-free beans. If you only have beans with salt already added reduce the amount of ume vinegar you use. And just one last thing, my other favorite ways to use ume vinegar is on diced cucumbers, and on rice :) Don't have a food processor yet? Go get you one!!
