Artisanal Distillation

Sakura flowers and leaves are the stars of this edition, complemented by yuzu peel, sencha tea, sansho pepper, and gyokuro tea. These ingredients are carefully selected to create a harmonious flavour that is distinctly Japanese – and for which the original Roku gin is already known and loved for).
