Suntory Roku Gin 750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Suntory Roku Gin 750ml offers a crisp, refreshing taste that shines whether sipped neat or mixed into a classic gin and tonic, making it perfect for lively gatherings or quiet evenings. With an ABV of 43%, this Japanese gin is crafted using six unique botanicals sourced from Japan—sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, and sansho pepper—alongside traditional gin ingredients. Distilled with meticulous attention to detail in Japan by Suntory’s expert team, Roku Gin captures the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship in every bottle.

On the palate, Roku Gin reveals delicate floral notes from cherry blossom and green tea layered with bright citrus from yuzu and a subtle spicy kick from sansho pepper. These nuanced flavors make it an exceptional companion for sushi and oysters; its clean profile enhances the freshness of raw fish while the gentle spice lifts briny oyster flavors without overpowering them. The balanced complexity of Roku Gin brings out the best in seafood pairings, creating a harmonious dining experience that celebrates both drink and dish.
