Iseya Distillery Scarlet Verde Amaro

 

The Verde Amaro is based on beverages born in the manufacturing process of health foods and is finished with a unique botanical recipe utilising fermentation methods of various straws and herbs.

More than 30 types of medicinal herbs such as sage, lemon balm, fennel, rhubarb, pine leaves, mulberry leaves, dandelion roots, rice bran, sorrel, and wormwood grown in their own fields are used.

(This is a limited production item and is bottled with a cork stopper. There may be sediment on rare occasions, this is hand-bottled product thus filtration is minimal to keep the character of the drink intact.) - Black Market Sake

Founded in 2021 by distiller Tatsuya Motonaga, Iseya Distillery resides in a repurposed traditional house that's more than 100 years old. Having worked in some of the world's most recognised cocktail bars (Shinjuku's Ben Fiddich, Shibuya's Coal Ila and Taipei's Wa-shu) Motonaga got the amaro bug after a huge distillery tour of Europe and the UK. He was hooked by the level of craftmanship, connection to local agriculture that create this drink of epic folkloric proportions. And how lucky are we to now have a Japanese interpretation.
