Rumiko Shiso (Red Perilla) 6% 500ml

Produced by Moriki Shuzo, Rumiko no Osake Shiso (赤紫蘇) is a refreshing Japanese liqueur made from aromatic red perilla leaves.

 

Crafted using locally sourced red shiso, this vibrant ruby-coloured drink offers a beautiful balance of herbal fragrance, gentle sweetness, and refreshing acidity. At only 6% ABV, it is light, approachable, and perfect for casual enjoyment.

 

The natural character of red perilla gives it a uniquely Japanese flavour profile – bright, slightly tart, and elegantly aromatic.
