This Aka Shiso Seasoning is inspired by the traditional Japanese herb shiso (perilla), known for its fresh, fruity, and slightly minty aroma. Made from the red variety, Aka Shiso, with its distinctive purple leaves and pink flowers, this seasoning reveals a vibrant purple colour and a delicate balance of floral, tangy, and herbaceous notes. On the palate, it offers flavours of hibiscus, ripe pomegranate, acerola, and basil, with balanced acidity, subtle salinity, and vegetal freshness.
Uses
This versatile seasoning is ideal for seafood salads, oysters, radishes, raw vegetables, white cabbage salads, and refined contemporary dishes. Made without colourants or additives, it delivers an authentic and elegant Japanese flavour profile.
