My DH bought one to try and it only took one sip of his for me to discover how awful this was. Kudos to anyone who can get through the whole bottle.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050270762088395325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-60910010067940286982009-06-29T06:52:24.937-07:002009-06-29T06:52:24.937-07:00Jen: Hi, and thanks for your comment.

It's sort of like getting too much basil or mint in something. The right amount is great, but too much is awful. I've never cooked with shiso, but this wouldn't put me off of trying it some time.<br /><br />Big D: Orchid64https://www.blogger.com/profile/07132543155589881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893380621848637984.post-79622816439169709642009-06-29T05:49:32.028-07:002009-06-29T05:49:32.028-07:00Hi Orchid64,

Unlike you, I was able to get through the bottle and can't say I was disappointed until .... I read the label and there isn't a single shiso leaf within miles of Pepsi! I should have known better than to expect the real flavour.
