If you think the highlight of this dish is the sashimi, you'll be wrong; it's the nondescript #shiso. We're told to pluck the shiso flowers into the soy sauce before we dip. The floral scent is so light and pleasing! After the sashimi, we're also advised to finish the shiso leaves. It's a lovely japanese herb with many health benefits I never knew; refreshes your breath after having raw food too! #nihonbashiyukari #kaiseki
