And I have to be frank, the taste of tuna is what brings me back to Japan over and over again. I just really really like it and can’t find this same quality tuna anywhere else I tried it.

      Looks like a shiso leaf, which you can eat and is usually served with sushi and sashimi, whenever I order from any sort of fancier place

      I think it was sesame leaf, and at least in Korea we eat them very often, especially during Korean BBQ.

          Oh cool, thanks! How is it eaten exactly? Do you use it like a tortilla to roll up around other bits, or nibble it in between bites of fish, as a palate cleanser, or to add flavor? Also, what flavor is it? So many questions lol

            Yes, can use it to wrap up pieces of sashimi. I like to include a small amount of rice and shoyu (soy sauce as well).

            Flavor is quite strong and really tasty. Kind of hard to describe… Sort of like a combination of mint, basil, while also being a bit citrusy.
