Sakurao - Authentic Japanese Gin - Original - 47%
The Sakurao Distillery is nestled in the heart of the Hiroshima region, in Japan, a land rich in tradition and innovation. An essential member of the Chugoku Jozo house since 1998, Taihei Yamamoto first honed his expertise by crafting renowned liqueurs, sakes, and shochus. Since the founding of the Sakurao distillery in 2017, he has dedicated himself to the art of gin distillation, combining passion and expertise to create exceptional spirits.
The Sakurao Gin stands out for its unique production method combining traditional Japanese techniques and cutting-edge technologies. Its signature botanicals include yuzu, a fresh and tangy Japanese citrus, as well as sansho, a typical aromatic plant with a spicy flavor reminiscent of juniper berry. This composition is enriched by a refined selection of herbs and spices, such as coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger, which bring complexity and balance to the aromatic profile. After a careful initial maceration in neutral alcohol, the ingredients are distilled in a traditional copper column still, ensuring purity and finesse. This distillate then undergoes a second distillation in a stainless steel still to perfect the harmony and richness of this exceptional artisanal gin.
