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).Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-85705979527301660552009-06-17T12:18:07.217+09:002009-06-17T12:18:07.217+09:00Is there a flavor difference between the green and...Is there a flavor difference between the green and red shiso?<br /><br />My grandmother used to grow red shiso in her backyard in Southern California, and she used to have me "harvest" it for her.
