Midori Melon Liqueur
In the heart of Japan’s post-war renaissance, Midori Melon Liqueur was born—crafted with precision and a dash of daring to become the iconic green spirit that would soon capture the world’s imagination, one unforgettable sip at a time.
"Midori Melon Liqueur’s quality and delicious taste come from the blending of the juices of premium muskmelons — which are extremely rare in Japan. Grown in only one region of Japan, they are incredibly hard to find. Because of this, they can sell for as much as US $20,000 in their first harvest. In addition to their rarity, both musk melons are cultivated in rich soils to create the tastiest melons. By extracting the essence from two different Japanese melons using two different production methods, a premium melon flavor is born.
OUR HISTORY
