It looked like a small package at first glance, but once opened, the quantity was decent, and it had a perilla scent.
FumiTakeda
The shiso leaves were small, most of them had black spots, and were wilting. Because the leaves were so small, it was equivalent to buying only 3-4 regular shiso leaves, so even though it was cheap, it was a huge loss. In addition, there were several small snails mixed in, which I had to find and remove. This raises serious hygiene concerns.

The perilla leaves are very good, very fresh, and fantastic!

I haven't used it yet, but I read online that it helps with rhinitis, so I wanted to give it a try.
