What is Roku Gin?
Roku Gin captures the essence of Japan's four seasons with its unique blend of six traditional botanicals, including sakura flower, sencha tea, and sansho pepper. Interestingly, the distillers at Suntory use four distinct distillation methods to extract the optimal flavors from each botanical, resulting in a gin that's as complex in its production as it is in its taste profile.
Why do we love Roku Gin?
Roku Gin stands out for its distinctly Japanese character, incorporating six unique botanicals that represent the seasons: sakura flower and leaf (spring), sencha and gyokuro teas (summer), sansho pepper (autumn), and yuzu peel (winter). These botanicals are distilled separately using different methods to extract their optimal flavors, then masterfully blended with eight traditional gin botanicals, resulting in a complex and harmonious spirit that offers a true taste of Japan in every sip.
How do you drink Roku Gin?
Roku Gin shines in minimalist preparations that highlight its delicate, floral character—try it neat, on the rocks, or in a crisp gin and tonic garnished with fresh citrus. Its light, botanical profile makes it ideal for warm-weather sipping and pairs beautifully with Japanese cuisine, especially sushi and grilled seafood.

Nose: Fresh yuzu citrus, green tea, and sakura cherry blossom mingle with juniper and earthy sansho pepper. A subtle hint of sweet rice adds depth.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Crisp juniper leads, followed by layers of yuzu peel, green tea, and cherry blossom. Spicy notes of sansho pepper and ginger emerge mid-palate. The six Japanese botanicals (sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, and sansho pepper) are distinct yet harmonious.
Finish: Long and warming. Peppery spice lingers alongside soft floral notes and a touch of citrus. The finish is clean with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of rice and a final whisper of juniper.
Roku Gin is crafted using a unique process that combines traditional and modern distillation techniques. What sets it apart is the use of six distinctive Japanese botanicals - sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, and sansho pepper - each distilled separately in a vacuum still to capture their delicate flavors before being blended with eight traditional gin botanicals.
