AOJISO DRESSING, GREEN PERILLA
Ambient. Origin: Japan. Brand: Sea House. Size: 1L. Code: DR0121.

Aojiso, the green perilla or shiso leaf, is one of the most distinctive herbs in the Japanese kitchen, prized for a fresh, fragrant aroma that hovers somewhere between basil, mint, and citrus. This dressing captures that character in liquid form, a light and refreshing condiment that carries the herb’s unmistakable perfume into a clean, lively seasoning.

Its profile is bright and appetising, tangy and savoury at once, with a genuine umami depth beneath the herbaceous lift. Unlike rich, creamy dressings, it is typically oil-free, which makes it light, clean, and health conscious, refreshing rather than heavy, and lets the fragrance of the shiso shine through without anything to mask it.

That freshness makes it especially valuable in a seafood kitchen. It is superb over crisp green salads and sliced tomatoes, spooned over cold hiyayakko tofu, or used to lift sashimi, carpaccio, and grilled or steamed fish. It doubles as a marinade and a dressing for noodle and vegetable salads, adding a clean, aromatic, distinctly Japanese note wherever a dish needs brightening. Ready to pour from the 1L bottle, it is a versatile, refreshing everyday seasoning.
