Easy and Refreshing Marinated Shiso Leaf and Cucumber Sunomono
I wanted to use up my shiso leaves.
Since I wanted it to be an easy recipe, I only used ingredients that are generally on hand.
Slice the cucumber as thinly as possible for a nice texture, and use a liberal amount of sesame seeds to increase the flavors; that way, even those who don't like sunomono should be able to eat it. The more shiso leaves added, the more refreshing the taste. You can make a lot for stocking, but add the shiso leaves right before serving (otherwise they will discolor and the fragrance will disappear). Recipe by Jikana

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Thinly slice a cucumber lengthwise with a peeler. (They come out cleanly if you lay the cucumber flat on a cutting board.)
- 2
Put the slices of cucumber in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt, work it into the cucumber, then set aside for 5 minutes. Once they become wilted, squeeze out the excess water.
- 3
Slice the shiso leaves into slivers. (They turn out nicely by loosely rolling the three leaves together before slicing.) Lightly grind the sesame seeds.
- 4
Blend the ☆ ingredients well, then add the rest of the ingredients, except for the shiso leaves, and toss. Chill well in the refrigerator, then toss with the shiso leaves right before serving, and it's done.
- 5
Note: Since the cucumbers will start to discolor after some time, chill briefly right before serving.
- 6
Alternatively, slice the ingredients, chill in the refrigerator separately from the ☆ ingredients, then combine the two right before serving.
- 7
For best results,chill in the refrigerator if time allows. For those in a hurry, serve on ice.

Easy! Refreshing Japanese-Style Sandwich: Shiso and Egg Easy! Refreshing Japanese-Style Sandwich: Shiso and Egg
I got so many shiso leaves every day that I didn't know what to do with them!So, I thought of this to use them up.Nothing really, I just recommend eating it before the scent goes away. If you make it in advance, the flavor weakens, so enjoy it immediately. If you have time, try grating the leaves! Black pepper interferes with the scent of the shiso, so please don't use it.

Pasta Salad with Refreshing Shiso Leaves with Mild Avocado and Sesame Pasta Salad with Refreshing Shiso Leaves with Mild Avocado and Sesame
I love sesame seeds. I love avocado too. This is a recipe that just came to my mind when I was preparing lunch one day.The grated cheese adds richness and the shiso leaves add a refreshing finish.Even if it seems like a bother, it's best to grind up the sesame seeds just before serving for maximum flavor. Add a very generous amount of sesame seeds - an amount that seems like too much is about right for this. If you put in too many shiso leaves it will be too strong, so be careful. This salad is best made just before serving, so you can't make it in advance. Don't eat it with your hands right out of the mixing bowl! For easy-to-make amount (2 to 4 servings). Recipe by Jikana -
Clean and Refreshing Red Shiso Juice Clean and Refreshing Red Shiso Juice
My mother prepares this and my children love it. It's a thirst quencher. My guests love this, so I've given them as gifts to take home. Enjoy the beautiful color and flavor that nature has given to us.You can use 2 cups of vinegar instead of the citric acid. It's a concentrate, so dilute it before drinking. (Dilute depending on how sweet it is.) I made it rather low on sweetness with 350 g of sugar, if you want it sweeter or to serve to kids, add a bit more sugar. Recipe by Tamochan -

This is a summer version of chirashizushi.This is refreshing and tastes great with yuzu or lemon juice. You can flake the salmon, but it was a pain, so I just roughly flaked it from the filet. I use salmon trout with minimal salt. I also use lots of shiso leaves and sesame seeds. It tastes great if you use 10 or more shiso leaves. For 2 servings. Recipe by commeline -

Garlic Soy Sauce Marinated Shiso Leaf and Cream Cheese Salad Garlic Soy Sauce Marinated Shiso Leaf and Cream Cheese Salad
I love cream cheese with soy sauce, and when I tried adding using shiso leaves marinated in garlic soy sauce it was even better. The marinated shiso leaves really work so well here.Please use as much garlic soy sauce marinated shiso leaves as you like. After trying out various amounts I found out that this was good even with a small amount, so please try adjusting the amounts to your liking. If you marinate the shiso leaves for too long they'll get too salty, so if you prefer you can just marinate them for a brief time before serving. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Renbasu -
