Product Description

The Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition focuses on the Sakura flower and Sakura leaf, which are distilled separately and then harmonized for a unique floral experience. In addition to the Sakura botanicals, it includes the original six Japanese botanicals from Roku Gin, such as Yuzu peel, Sansho pepper, and Gyokuro/Sencha teas, along with traditional gin ingredients. The result is a salty-sweet, floral-forward gin with a smooth texture and complex flavors. The bottle features a label made from traditional washi paper, designed by artist Eriko Horiki, with soft pink and metallic tones reflecting falling petals.
