Suntory Roku Gin, Japan (750ml)

Available for In-Store Pickup, Local Delivery (San Francisco) & California Shipping Only.

Every season offers ephemeral moments bursting with flavors to share with those around us. Roku Gin celebrates these moments using six Japanese botanicals from each of the four seasons picked at peak freshness. In Japan, this appreciation of seasonal flavors and nature at its apex is known as “Shun”. The delicate combination of Sakura flower and Sakura leaf from spring, Sencha tea (green tea) and Gyokuro tea (refined green tea) from summer, Sanshō pepper which ripens in autumn and Yuzu peel from winter captures the essence of Shun in a bottle, inviting you to savor the seasons all year round.

Roku is produced in the 'Liquor Atelier', the specialized craft distillery for Suntory spirits and liquor. The Atelier owns four distinct types of pot stills and, in a process unique to Roku, the botanicals are distilled separately according to each feature of botanicals to extract the best flavor and maintain their individual characteristics. For instance, the delicate scent of cherry blossom is drawn out through vacuum distillation in stainless pot stills, whereas the deep flavor of Yuzu is achieved by distillation in copper pot stills. Roku's complex, yet harmonious flavor is the result of the unique Japanese sensitivity captured in the blending of the carefully crafted extracts of the botanicals.
