Salted red shiso buds
Ref : NISAGSS
Red shiso or purple shiso, Aka shiso in Japanese, from its vernacular name Perilla Frustecens, is a plant in the mint family. It is one of the most important aromatic herbs and condiments in Japanese cuisine.
In Japan, this plant is considered a medicinal plant, renowned for its antiseptic, soothing, antiallergic and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as for its preventive effects against cardiovascular disease.
Red shiso is a "Japanese herb" with a good balance of vitamins and minerals. What few people know is that the seeds of this plant are also edible.
Harvesting shiso seeds is the most difficult. It takes place in early autumn, in September. After the leaves have been harvested, only the perilla fruits are carefully removed, bit by bit, by hand.
Shiso buds have a much stronger, more unique and savory flavor than you might imagine, which is why they are prepared only with salt. This is a truly traditional flavor that is rarely found in the shops and has become rare.
You'll be surprised by the freshness, the crunch, basil notes, slightly minty or chlorophyll accents, little hibiscus touches, slightly greasy and toasted sensations.
These buds are ideal with smoked salmon, carpaccios of meats, fish and scallops, beef or vegetable tartars, goat's cheese, ravioli, gyozas, white fish, vinaigrettes, langoustine tartar and beurre monté.
