List of products by brand Ukiyo Spirits
The name of the company derives from the Japanese term ukiyo, which expresses the concept of a way of living fully in the moment, with a light state of mind, detached from the daily difficulties of life.
A sort of carpe diem of the culture of the Rising Sun.
The Ukiyo distillery has stood out over time thanks to the purity of the distillations, made in the name of refined Japanese tradition, the result of precious experience, handed down over the centuries from generation to generation.
The Ukiyo distillery is located in Kagoshima Prefecture, near the Sakurajima volcano, at the southern end of Japanese territory.
An area that has always been the cradle of the ancient production of the oldest and most popular distillate among the Japanese, Shōchū.
Gins are born precisely from the history of the territory. Production, in fact, is strongly linked to tradition.
At the basis of the manufacturing process is an excellent level of Shōchū, produced with top quality barley.
This ancient distillate is used as an ingredient in a second distillation, which takes place in traditional stills, with the addition of the classic Gin botanicals: juniper, mandarin and spices, as well as a selection of carefully selected local botanicals, which give a particular connotation to the final distillate.
Likewise, Ukiyo Spirits Vodka has a strong territorial connotation.
It is made with rice, coming from crops located on the island of Okinawa.
The entire range of labels proposed by Ukiyo Spirits thus fits into the purest Japanese tradition, thanks to an ancient and wise culture of distillation.
Among the particular ingredients of the Gins there are cherry blossoms, citrus fruits from the region, native botanicals, which restore the typical scents and aromas of the mountains surrounding the production area.
A particular ingredient of Gins is Yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit similar to lemon, but with a very thick peel, rich in perfumes and aromas, particularly intense and persistent and with a characteristic note, characterized by pleasant bittering nuances.
