Korean perilla, called kkaennip and loosely known in English as "sesame leaf," is the large, round, serrated leaf of Perilla frutescens grown as Korea's everyday wrapping green. Bigger, flatter and milder than Japanese shiso from the same species, it carries a warm, minty-anise scent with hints of licorice and cumin, and is eaten raw as a ssam wrapper for grilled meat, marinated into pickled stacks (kkaennip-jangajji), and layered into stews and pancakes. Despite the "sesame leaf" nickname it is a mint-family herb, botanically unrelated to sesame.
