Shiso Green Leaves
The large green shiso leaf, the companion of raw fish.
Green shiso leaf, called ooba in Japan, traditionally accompanies raw fish. Large and serrated, it gives off a powerful fragrance between mint and aniseed. It is chopped into a tartare, wraps a bite of tuna or is deep-fried as tempura for a crispy garnish.
