The Japanese BItters Co. Shiso Bitters

The Japanese Bitters Co. Shiso Bitters is a Japanese craft cocktail bitter built around shiso (perilla) — the distinctive herb used widely in Japanese cuisine, with a flavour bridging mint, basil, and anise. The shiso character produces a bitter with a strong, distinctly Japanese herbal profile suitable for cocktails where traditional Western bitters would not give the same regional signature.

Shiso is one of the defining herbs of Japanese culinary tradition, with red shiso and green shiso variants appearing in everything from sushi to pickled plums. At 28% ABV, this bitter is concentrated for typical bitters use — a few dashes in a cocktail. Pairs particularly well with Japanese gin, shochu-based highballs, and rye whiskey cocktails seeking a Japanese accent.
