shiso

I was raising shiso (Japanese perilla; the green stuff you find on sushi plates usually. But not in Macedonia ;) this summer at home. It was quite successful and I was able to eat them almost every day. With soba, with soup, with tofu or with any kind. Tuna-shiso pasta, Japanese salad with shiso dressing, or whatever. Now, it just came to my mind an idea how to enjoy it more before the season is over. Since summer is over and shiso is also getting over, I have to implement this idea asap. I should bring this to Nobu and ask to roll with their sushi rolls. Customized sushi roll! a la japonka.

この夏、じぶんちでシソを育てていたのですが、夏も終わりになり、シソもだんだん終わりに近づいてきました。けっこうよく食べたなあ。シソ、好きなんですよねえ。貴重な食材でした。種取れないかしら、来年のために。そして、シソシーズンが終わる前にやりたいことがひとつ。このシソの葉っぱを持ってノブに行って、彼らのスシロールと一緒に巻いてもらうこと。いいっすねー、シソつきのスシロール。かなり本格派じゃないっすか。
