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.
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.
