Shiso Leaves Green
Shiso Leaves Green is called ‘Ōba’ in Japan. And there is no fish dish imaginable that this product cannot be served with. Take a nice, fresh piece of tuna. Dip it in Japanese soy sauce and wrap a Shiso leaf around it. A true taste sensation. The leaf has a very mild taste but is definitely present.

Kaffir Lime Leaves
Kaffir Lime Leaves are the leaves of the… How surprising… Kaffir lime! These shiny, dark green leaves grow together in leaf pairs, with a larger and smaller leaf. The leaves are often very finely chopped and used in dishes or stewed and removed before eating.
