Product Information

Made from six Japanese botanicals grown across all four seasons in Japan, and in conjunction with other botanicals commonly found in gins, the Suntory Roku Gin contrasts sublime notes of citrus with a slightly spicy finish to make for a highly refreshing and distinctly Japanese drinking experience.

It is also a testament to Japan's cocktail culture, which is marked by precision and elegance, just like the spirits that grace the glasses.We also offer bespoke wine packages to businesses in a variety of different sectors – ideal for functions, boardrooms, or corporate gifts. Not only does this translate into some exquisitely flavoured gins, it also allows bartenders in Japan to craft cocktails that won’t be found anywhere else in the world. In the city of Kyoto, Japan's ground zero for all things traditional, you can wander from sake brewery to sake brewery in the Fushimi Sake district and dine at some of Japan's most elegant restaurants. Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade. Among them, the Kyoto Distillery, with its KI NO BI gin, which translates to "the beauty of the seasons," is often credited with being one of the first to put Japanese gin on the map.

Roku is a perfectly-balanced, exceptional gin combining six distinctive Japanese botanicals with eight traditional botanicals. The production of Japanese gin benefits from the unique climate and the distinct four seasons that the country experiences – but it’s the use of botanicals that is perhaps most notable to the consumer. Gin is free to travel the world and soak up whatever local botanicals are available and still retain the name gin. I'm a gin lover and was lucky enough to sample this for free, as part of a product sampling programme.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. Thanks to the huge success of these gins, craft distilleries are also popping up across the country, launching in major cities including Okinawa, Osaka, Sendai, Miyazaki and most recently Hiroshima, meaning consumers are spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting bottles of Japanese gin. Shinjiro and his successors continued to work hard on building a deep knowledge of distilling alcohol.
