Made by Goto Shoyu, a family-run brewery in Fukuoka Prefecture, this vibrant seasoning showcases the distinctive flavour of red shiso, one of Japan's best-loved herbs. Fresh, floral and lightly tart, red shiso is widely used in Japanese cuisine to bring colour and brightness to everything from pickles and salads to seafood and vegetables.
Unlike a simple dressing or vinegar, this versatile seasoning combines red shiso juice with naturally brewed soy sauce, mirin, lemon juice, kombu and vegetable extracts to create a balanced blend of sweetness, acidity and umami. The result is a beautifully aromatic seasoning with fruity, herbaceous notes and a subtle savoury finish, containing no artificial colours or additives.
How to use
Its vibrant colour and fresh, herbaceous flavour make it a versatile addition to many dishes. Use it as a dressing for seafood salads, oysters, sashimi and ceviche-style dishes, where its acidity helps to balance rich flavours.
It pairs particularly well with fresh vegetables such as radish, cucumber and tomatoes, or can be drizzled over tofu, rice dishes and noodles for a burst of citrusy, savoury flavour.
It also works well as a dipping sauce, mixed into mayonnaise, or added to marinades and sauces to bring a subtle sweetness, gentle acidity and the distinctive floral character of Japanese red shiso.
Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate once opened.
