This is what Google turned up:
A refreshing, herby variety of furikake, shiso furikake (commonly referred to by the brand name ‘Yukari’, which was originally coined by Mishima Foods Co.) is made of seasoned, dried red shiso (or perilla) leaves. Known for its distinct red/purple colour as well as its flavour, shiso is often used as an outer covering for sushi rolls and onigiri rice balls.
And Wikipedia has this:
Shiso
Perilla frutescens var. crispa, or shiso (/ˈʃiːsoʊ/, from the Japanese シソ), belongs to the genus Perilla, in the mint family Lamiaceae. ...
Red shiso
The purple-red type may be known as akajiso (赤ジソ/紅ジソ "red shiso"). It is often used for coloring umeboshi (English: pickled plum). The shiso leaf turns bright red when it reacts with the umezu, the vinegary brine that wells up from the plums after being pickled in their vats. The red pigment is identified as the Perilla anthocyanin, a.k.a. shisonin. The mature red leaves make undesirable raw salad leaves, but germinated sprouts, or me-jiso (芽ジソ), have been long used as garnish to accent a Japanese dish, such as a plate of sashimi. The tiny pellets of flower-buds (ho-jiso) and seed pods (fruits) can be scraped off using the chopstick or fingers and mixed into the soy sauce dip to add the distinct spicy flavor, especially to flavor fish.
