Seals on Japanese food packaging

So today I found these at my local Super H Mart

Seeing just three ingredients, I bought the jar, being sick of umeboshi with all sorts of other preservatives and crap.

When I took it home, the package was unsealed. Not a broken seal, but no seal at all. That white top pops right off, and the cellophane is not attached in any way; it simply floats off.

Is this normal for Japanese goods? Everything else I've bought imported from Japan, foodwise and otherwise, has been immaculately packaged and sealed.
