Description

There are several reasons why Japan is naturally gifted when it comes to making gin. Firstly, there’s the foundation. Gin may be a new foray for many of the long-established distilleries in Japan, but it’s often made from a base spirit that the distillery has perfected through generations. The high-quality rice or sweetpotato shochu often produces a gentler gin that has a beautifully soft mouthfeel. Definitely best served either at room temperature or with a few pieces of ice to allow for full appreciation of the 17 botanicals. Conclusion Wow! This is an impressive bottle, with its richly shaded, green glass and shiny gold top. The relatively simple, blush artwork only adds to the mystique of this beautiful bottle design. The Gin

This gin is produced in the same “Coffey” still as Nikka’s signature whiskey, imparting a unique character to this Japanese gin. Best ServedGin, a spirit traditionally associated with England and the Netherlands, has found a new and unexpected home in Japan. The country's gin production surged in popularity after Japanese whiskies gained global acclaim. Distillers, already adept at producing high-quality whisky, turned their attention to gin, applying their precision and dedication to this botanical spirit. The gin has a light yellow color and a strong yuzu aroma. The flavor is a combination of yuzu, juniper, and sansho pepper. The yuzu flavor is the most dominant, but the juniper and sansho pepper add a nice balance and complexity.

Modern gin developed in England after Genever, a Low Countries medicinal liquor used to treat stomach complaints, gout and gallstones, was introduced in the early 1600s. The gin industry boomed in the early 1700s after King William III loosened regulation. Gin became so widely consumed, especially by the poor, that sales began to exceed beer. Efforts to control the market in the 1730s sparked riots.Highball: A highball is a refreshing drink that’s made with gin, sparkling water, and a slice of fruit. To make a highball, combine gin and sparkling water in a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of your favorite fruit.

All gin, by definition, must have juniper at its heart. Unlike the thujone in absinthe, the actual level is not specified. Gin’s nebulous definition allows plenty of scope for innovation, allowing the drink to convey its provenance and terroir much more than, say, whisky. This puts gin front and centre of the craft spirit boom, mirroring the growth in locally-made small-scale wines and beers. Innovation is central to the Japanese gin narrative. Distillers experiment with both the range and the ratio of botanicals, often drawing on Japan’s four distinct seasons for inspiration. This results in limited-edition gins that capture the essence of spring's delicate cherry blossoms or the deep umami flavours of autumn's shiitake mushrooms.

Gin to the rescue! Gin is easy to make, the equipment is relatively cheap and it can be sold immediately, providing cash flow to the fledgeling distillery.

They often source botanicals locally and aim to reduce waste and energy use in production, aligning with the nation's respect for the environment. Japanese gin represents the fusion of traditional distillation methods with a deep respect for the local flora, yielding a spirit that is both familiar and strikingly new. It encapsulates the essence of Japan's natural beauty, the precision of its craftsmanship, and the innovative spirit of its people. As it gains popularity, Japanese gin is not just expanding the global gin portfolio but also inviting gin lovers to explore the rich tapestry of flavours that Japan has to offer. The gin is also flavored with sansho pepper, juniper berries, and other botanicals. The result is a gin that is both refreshing and flavorful.
