Product Description

Roku Gin is made using a unique combination of six seasonal botanicals harvested at their “shun” (peak of season), including Sakura Flower and Sakura Leaf (Spring), Sencha Tea and Gyokuro Tea (Summer), Sansho Pepper (Autumn), and Yuzu Peel (Winter). These are complemented by eight classic gin botanicals like juniper, coriander, and angelica root. The gin is distilled using a multiple distillation process that captures the best essence of each botanical through different types of pot stills, resulting in a harmonious, multi-layered flavor.

FAQs

• Is Roku Gin better than Bombay Sapphire?

• Is it a “London Dry” gin?
