[Original Case Pack: 20 units] This refreshing and aromatic oil is made with only four ingredients—green shiso (perilla leaves, commonly known as Japanese basil), extra virgin olive oil, salt, and garlic. The formula blending these ingredients highlights the beautiful aroma and flavor of shiso sourced in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture. The city is the number one shiso producer in Japan and is also the home of Yamasa Chikuwa. The company specializes in producing chikuwa (a type of fishcake), and they developed this oil specifically to pair with it. The locally grown shiso leaves are carefully harvested with a special technique that avoids damaging the aromatic components on the back of the leaves. To enjoy its beautiful aroma, Shiso EVOO is best used as a finishing sauce, just like pesto sauce—dress your pasta or salad, or drizzle it over bruschetta or cold appetizers like carpaccio and Caprese. Because it's originally made by a chikuwa (a type of fishcake) specialty company, it goes particularly well with seafood, so feel free to try it with grilled seafood or ajillo. It also complements umami-rich dishes, such as pizza and steak. Even a small amount of the refreshing and intense Shiso EVOO can liven up your dish instantly.
