And I have to be frank, the taste of tuna is what brings me back to Japan over and over again. I just really really like it and can't find this same quality tuna anywhere else I tried it.

I think it was sesame leaf, and at least in Korea we eat them very often, especially during Korean BBQ.

Definitely shiso! Very common w/ sushi. We grow shiso leaf at home in our garden.

Oh cool, thanks! How is it eaten exactly? Do you use it like a tortilla to roll up around other bits, or nibble it in between bites of fish, as a palate cleanser, or to add flavor? Also, what flavor is it? So many questions lol

[–] itadakimasu 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, can use it to wrap up pieces of sashimi. I like to include a small amount of rice and shoyu (soy sauce as well).

Flavor is quite strong and really tasty. Kind of hard to describe... Sort of like a combination of mint, basil, while also being a bit citrusy.

Thanks for the info! I’m excited to try it!
