庭の一つのプランターにシソを２本植えています。４人家族には２本で十分です。
This morning, I harvested some leaves for the first time this season.
今朝、葉を少し、今年初めて収穫しました。
They were shredded and went into my natto!
刻んで、納豆に入れました！
Sorry for natto haters!
納豆が嫌いな人には、ごめんなさい！
I want to use shiso when I have temaki zushi (hand-rolled sushi) in the near future.
近じか、手巻き寿司を食べる時にシソを使いたいと思います。

Why is it called "Beefsteak Plant"?
Is there a flavor difference between the green and red shiso?
My grandmother used to grow red shiso in her backyard in Southern California, and she used to have me "harvest" it for her. Shiso seems to really like the Southern California weather.
Nancy Heller: Are you asking me?? That's what I want to know! Any associations with cattle, cows, pasture, etc.?
Cheryl: Yes, there is, and they have different uses. Green shio is often used as a garnish for sashimi, together with shredded daikon, and is usually eaten fresh. Red shiso is used to color ume in umeboshi production. Red shiso furikake (product name: Yukari) is very popular. (Green shiso furikake (product name: Kaori) is not so good, in my opinion.) Red shiso can also be used to make red shiso drinks ("akajiso juice" in Japanese).
