iyoshi cola syrup

japanese craft cola syrup from iyoshi cola

shimo-ochiai, tokyo

unique, refreshing, delicious.
a specialty craft cola syrup made using real cola nuts, based on an original recipe from over 100 years ago. in addition to kola nuts, more than 12 spices such as cardamom and nutmeg, are blended together with citrus fruits and tea leaves to create a unique, refreshing, spicy and delicious flavor. the syrup can be mixed in with soda water or tonic to create a refreshing cola. at walnuts, we like to use 0.75oz of the syrup with 150ml of tonic water and a double shot of espresso to create a super refreshing and delicious espresso cola tonic.

iyoshi cola's history:
kola kobayashi, the founder of iyoshi cola, spent years traveling the world and drinking various colas from different places, with the goal to "create the ultimate cola that will bring joy to the person who drinks it.” after two and a half years of travelling, he returned to japan, to collect his late grandfather's belongings. and while looking over his grandfather's documents and medicinal tools (he ran a traditional medicine workshop before his passing), he realized that he could make a cola in a similar way to how his grandfather made medicine, using the same tools. he started experimenting right away, and the rest is history.
