To provide a method for producing a dried sheet of Japanese apricot and perilla having flavor of the Japanese apricot and perilla and obtained by using sarcocarp of the Japanese apricot and leaves of red perilla.

The Japanese apricot is cleaned well and water is removed therefrom. The medial veins of the red perilla are removed as possible, and the resultant red perilla is cut to proper sizes, and rubbed well to remove lye. The resultant Japanese apricot and the red perilla are pickled in a barrel or container by using salt, and covered with a lid and weighted. The obtained Japanese apricot is taken out, and the seed is removed. The sarcocarp is untied and returned to the barrel or the container to enable the flavor and color of the red perilla to penetrate into the sarcocarp. The sarcocarp of the Japanese apricot and the leaves of the red perilla are stirred well after being pickled for a proper period, arranged in a mold so as to have a thin uniform shape similar to dried laver and dried to provide the dried sheet of the Japanese apricot and the perilla having the flavor.
