Nose: Bright citrus zest, predominantly yuzu, with hints of juniper and floral notes. A subtle herbaceous aroma reminiscent of fresh vermouth lingers in the background.
Palate: Crisp and clean, with a harmonious blend of gin botanicals and vermouth herbs. Yuzu takes center stage, offering a tangy, grapefruit-like flavor. Gentle hints of cherry blossom and green tea add complexity. The texture is smooth and slightly oily.
Finish: Medium-long with a pleasant warmth. The citrus notes fade, giving way to a dry, slightly bitter finish typical of a classic martini. Subtle spice notes of sansho pepper and a whisper of roasted green tea (hojicha) linger, providing a refined and sophisticated conclusion.
