Bring 2 quarts heavily salted water to a boil. Add noodles and stir once, then leave to cook until al dente. Strain and then plunge into a bowl of ice water to cool. Strain again and set aside, refrigerating until use. Combine shiso leaves, oil and salt in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Dress noodles with shiso pesto, then mix in yuzu juice. Serve either on plates or in a big bowl, family-style, garnished with lemon zest.
