Shiso was first used as an herb in China, but migrated to Japan in the eighth century. Shiso Leaf Green is called Oba in Japan. It was originally grown for lamp oil. The seeds of the plant were crushed to make the oil, but this was expensive, so the practice died out when other oil sources were found. Then the plant had a second coming when it was discovered to be an asset both in the kitchen and the medicine cabinet. In Japan, there is almost no fish dish without one or a few leaves. The main reason is that, next to its good taste, the leaf is considered as a stimulant to the intestines and could help protect against (mild) food poisoning.
