Green shiso is called "aojiso" (青紫蘇) or "ōba" (大葉 "big leaf"). It is used to garnish noodle dishes like "hiyamugi" or "sōmen", meat dishes like sashimi, "tataki" and "namerō", and tofu dishes like "hiyayakko". Whitebait ("shirasu") sashimi is often garnished with green shiso. Whole leaves are also used as receptacles to hold wasabi, or "tsuma" (garnishes). Leaves can also be battered on one side and fried to make tempura, and are served with other fried items. Chopped leaves are used to flavor any number of fillings or batter to be cooked, for use in warm dishes. In Japan, pasta is sometimes topped with dried or freshly chopped shiso leaves, which is often combined with raw "tarako" (pollock roe). Originally, green shiso was used in place of basil, and has even been used in pizza toppings. In the summer of 2009, Pepsi Japan released a seasonal flavored beverage, the green colored Pepsi Shiso.
