In this season, red perilla leaves are sold at grocery store or greengrocer in Japan. red perilla is used to make dried plums, but you can make it a very delicious dessert, too. if you get red perilla or come to Japan this season, please give it a try.
this time, i made Aka Shiso juice and jello with red perilla leaves, they are yummy, and a little sour flavor, they are good for summer!;)
when making juice, it's fun to see how the colors change like an experiment. it's similar to Nerunerunerune or popin'cookin' and butterfly pea tea, isn't it?
