ACT VI　The Beauty of Shiso

The Master says,

“Shiso.”

The fish is supposed to be the star.

Yet every photograph seems to belong to the shiso leaf.

That is often how the world works.

Sukeroku’s Note:

Japanese cuisine values sight as much as taste.

Shiso leaves, serving vessels, presentation, and seasonal references all contribute to the dining experience.

Beauty often arrives before flavor.
