I’d like to cordially invite everyone reading this who enjoys Japanese food and cooking at home to plant some of this delicious and versatile herb. If you’re in the Northern side of the world, there should still be some time, even if you haven’t yet ordered it. The seeds are easily available.
And if you ever have a lot of extra leaves, it’s time to make shiso pesto! A really nice twist from the standard basil variant.
