Shiso is a traditional Japanese and Korean spice, especially for sushi. It's also used in Ume preparations (Japanese apricot whose fruits are often pickled in salt). The leaves are consumed freshly and have a hard-to-describe, very own flavour which
remotely reminds of mint.

The oil, which is gained from perilla frutescens, was traditionally used for making umbrellas waterproof and played an important part in colour and ink production.

Perilla frutescens may well be considered a classical window sill culinary herb. Shiso needs light to germinate and should therefore only be lightly pressed into the soil. When they are started indoors, they need a short cold stratification, to simulate the winter season. Sow outdoors either in late fall or early spring, before the last frost. Choose nutrient-rich and well-drained soil and keep sufficiently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Perilla thrives in the sun and in partial shade.
