Korean perilla is the new cilantro

Trying the new Korean perilla leaf and tuna mayo kimbap at Costco #costco #koreanfood #korean #thesushiguy

This kimbap is so good and 1, 000x better than any others that I had tried. The perilla leaf is barely noticeable but gives good flavor to balance out the tuna. Many Japanese restaurants serve perilla leaf as well.

I had this for dinner. It was very good. Never had kimbap before but I like other Korean stuff I've tried. Didn't really notice the perilla flavor in a particular way since I'd never had perilla before so it just blended with the whole bite.

I love this kimbap so much! It‘s a must-try. Trust me.

Shiso is so fucking good! I grow a lot of it and I try to introduce it to as many people as possible

tuna mayo kimbap is so good i can only imagine the slight peppery flavor the perilla adds 😮‍💨

I love perilla leaf. I feel bad when the Korean restaurants I go to don't offer it with the greens with my grilled meat.

I recently tried parilla & really liked it! But that was ONE, raw leaf wrapped around bbq. That kimbap sounds hella intense.

Where is this Costco that has so much Asian food? It's def not in small town Oregon, U.S.

Korean perilla leaf definitely is also like cilantro for me too. Not as strong and a lot more tolerable, but would prefer to go without it haha.

I got this a couple weeks ago and to be honest, I like it more than the tofu one.

Not gonna lie, when I made my kimbap for the first time, I had more rice than fillings. It looks exactly like actual kimbap. Now, I can make a good kimbap that looks and tastes exactly like the ones in Korea and the one on the packaging.

[drhelenloney]

yeah, first time I had it I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. Still a work in progress for me

[wearthedead]

Man. I wish I was your neighbor. I would love having a friend like you.

I am Korean and I hate perilla leaves. They have an almost licorice aftertaste to me and I just can’t. I am literally the only Korean I know that doesn’t like it 😂😂🙋🏻‍♀️

Perilla tastes like leaf to me. I feel the same about parsley- I don't see the point and I don't enjoy the taste of leaf.

[xhangokx]

it looks good, but the problem with kimbap is once you put it in the fridge it becomes shitty. And heating it up is also weird. Probably tastes okay, just not my thing.

[orutakawatenga]

So it's the rough Korean equivalent to a spicy Kani roll?

[Silfverr]

Tofu version is significantly better to me

[XeroJin]

All the frozen 김밥 tastes bad for me. As a comparison for people who don’t know, it’s like comparing frozen burritos to handmade ones.

A 3some? Who's the father? Now that is sus 🤔
