I have a friend who cannot drink whine (or champagne) because sulfites give her severe migrains. I was wondering if anyone knew whether umeshu contains sulfites?

No contain Ume-shu as drink "antioxidant/oxidation inhibitor"[酸化防止剤/sanka-boushi-zai]. "sulfites" is 亜硫酸塩/a-ryusan-en in JP. But seems some another food(not drink) using as bleaching agent/whitener[漂白剤/hyohaku-zai] (ex) ドライフルーツ Dry fruit 甘納豆 Ama natto : sugared red beans エビ/海老 ebi : shrimp 干瓢 kanpyo : dried gourd shavings. 蓮根 renkon : lotus root. 栗 kuri : chestnut あんぽ柿 anpo-gaki/kaki : partially-dried Japanese persimmon... and more. But basically most store and restaurant's staff don't know about 酸化防止剤,亜硫酸塩 and 漂白剤 are what is and which one contain or not if asked by Japanese. http://www.fukushihoken.metro.tokyo.jp/shokuhin/shokuten/sankaboshizai...(use Google translate) So find at label "酸化防止剤" as kanji letter maybe fastest like this. http://sc-suzie.up.n.seesaa.net/sc-suzie/image/IMG_0864s-.jpg This sample is canned boil crab.

It depends on the brand, but most do contain sulfites (often just vaguely labeled as "anti-oxidizing agents" ), especially the cheaper brands.

Actually, there are bottled wine that does not contain sulfites. They are usually available at/through "natural food" stores, in other words organic food stores. Same thing with umeshu and other alcoholic beverages.
