Organic Green Shiso (Aojiso) Dressing – Oil Free from Japan (200 ml)

Green shiso (perilla), also known as aojiso and oba, is a Japanese herb that has a refreshing aroma and taste similar to basil.

Hikari Foods introduces its organic green shiso dressing, made with organic green shiso harvested in Tokushima Prefecture. It is combined with high-quality soy sauce and vinegar. The soy sauce used comes from locally grown, non-genetically modified organic soybeans, aged for over a year. The vinegar is a skillful blend of organic apple and rice vinegars. These premium ingredients form the foundation of this oil-free dressing.

The complexity of the rich umami base is enhanced with katsuobushi (bonito flakes), locally grown plum, and lemon. Without adding artificial flavors, this authentic Japanese dressing exhibits a genuine green shiso flavor. It pairs well with fish, chicken, and meat, as well as vegetable dishes like salads and daikon oroshi (grated radish). It is also excellent for seasoning fried dishes such as tempura and karaage.

From a nutritional standpoint, green shiso leaves contain a significant amount of calcium, iron, and vitamin A, along with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory and antiallergic agents. This dressing is free of monosodium glutamate, artificial flavors, preservatives, and artificial seasonings. Organic, healthy, flavorful, and versatile, you’ll want to use this refreshing dressing in everything once you have it in your pantry.

This dressing boasts a refreshing umami that complements a variety of dishes, from salads to grilled, sautéed, and fried dishes. You can drizzle it over a Caprese, hiyayakko (cold tofu appetizer), grilled fish, and grilled meat for a crispy touch and savory flavor. It is also excellent for marinating chicken and fish. Since it is an oil-free dressing, it counteracts the greasiness of fried chicken and tempura while enhancing their appetizing taste. Additionally, you can enjoy a stimulating aroma by adding it to stews and soups right at the end as a finishing touch.
