Flavour Profile
Complex.
Clean.
Unforgettable.
Built around green shiso leaves — simultaneously herbal, gently bitter and refreshing — NAGOMI balances Japanese botanicals with the structure of Italian amaro. Perfect neat, on the rocks, or as the base for our cocktails.
Nose
Fresh green herbs, shiso leaves, almond, with subtle hints of Eastern spice. Clean and inviting.
Palate
A vibrant herbal character gives way to a structured bitterness. The natural sweetness of date emerges mid-palate, followed by quassia extract. Dry finish.
Finish
Long. Clean. Bitter, with a fresh and persistent echo. The kind of finish that invites another sip, slowly.
— The Botanicals
Four ingredients.
No compromises.
01 — Base
Shochu
Sugar cane distillate. The alcoholic foundation of NAGOMI: clean, neutral, capable of elevating every botanical without overpowering it.
02 — Primary
Green Shiso 紫蘇
The heart of NAGOMI. The green shiso leaf delivers its unmistakable herbal character. Fresh, precise, instantly recognisable.
03 — Natural sweetener
Date
Not raw sugar, but natural date juice. An authentic sweetness that balances the bitter structure without altering it.
04 — Bitter
Quassia Extract
The bitter backbone. Quassia provides a clean and persistent bitterness — the bridge between Italian amaro tradition and Japanese botanicals.
— Pairings
Made to
complement.
NAGOMI is designed for the table as much as for the glass. Its natural affinity with umami-rich ingredients makes it exceptionally versatile.
Wagyu
Japan's celebrated beef. The herbal structure of NAGOMI enhances the tenderness of wagyu, creating a pairing of rare precision.
Tuna Belly
The clean bitterness of quassia cleanses the palate between bites. A natural pairing with the finest fish.
Aged Cheeses
The herbal note cuts through richness. Works beautifully with parmesan and long-aged cheeses.
Dark Chocolate
70% cacao and above. The classic digestif pairing, here with a Japanese soul.
— Batch numbers
Every bottle is a document.
The batch number on the label is not a serial code. It is a trace of time, origin and process. Each numbered batch is slightly different from the previous one. That is not an inconsistency. That is the point.
