Ukiyo Japanese Tokyo Dry Gin Vol.40% Cl.70

The ‘Japanese Tokyo dry’ Gin from the Ukiyo Spirits production company is a spirit with an irresistible dry taste and hints of juniper produced in Kagoshima, on the southern tip of the largest Japanese island, in the shadow of the active volcano Sakurajima.

The key ingredients of this gin are juniper and yuzu, a typical Japanese citrus fruit with a lemon-like appearance that is characterized by its strong aroma and lower acidity.

With 11 botanicals including Yuzu, Mikan, Sakura and Sansho, this expression celebrates the different terroir of Japan and the flavors of the Japanese harvest.

This gin wants to pay homage to the ancient tradition of growing juniper and yuzu in Japan, dating back at least 1,500 years.

The word “ukiyo”, the name of the distillery, means “floating world” and indicates an attitude towards life free from worries and difficulties, focused solely on enjoying the moment, just like Ukiyo spirits help you do.

Ukiyo Spirits ‘Japanese Tokyo dry gin’ is made from local barley that is processed and distilled in typical Japanese pot stills to create the traditional shochu, an alcoholic drink that has an intermediate strength between that of wine and that of spirits.

The shochu base is then distilled again with other ingredients including botanicals and citrus fruits from the region and juniper. The distillate is then infused with yuzu and bottled after a maceration period of variable length.

Ukiyo Spirits ‘Japanese Tokyo dry gin’ Gin has a transparent and crystalline appearance.

The olfactory range ranges from notes of juniper to citrus scents of yuzu, passing through mentholated and spicy hints of Shanso.

On the palate it shows an excellent balance between the enveloping softness and the citrus freshness, with a long finish consistent with the perceptions perceived by the nose.

This gin is the ideal choice to give a characteristic exotic touch to classic cocktails such as Gin Tonic.
