Iseya Distillery
Located in Lake Sagami Kanagawa, Iseya Distillery was founded in 2021 by Tatsuya Motonaga. The distillery is housed in a repurposed 100 year old traditional house, where each batch of Scarlet is handmade and hand bottled. A majority of the ingredients used in the production of Scarlet are sourced locally including a nearby field that is being used to grow botanicals specifically by Motonaga-san.
