This botanical gin hails from Kagoshima, Japan, home to both the Komasa Gin Distillery and a tiny type of local mandarin orange called the Sakurajima komikan. Sakurajima is the name of an active volcano in Kagoshima and is where these oranges grow in its volcanic soils and reach sizes of about 4cm in diameter. Each ripe fruit is packed with a mellow fragrance and the thick, sweet taste of citrus.

Nakano BC Nakano BC Japanese Craft GIN KODACHI
You can enjoy the rich taste of cedar and cypress harvested in the area where Kumano Kodo is a World Heritage Site. Mainly uses “Kishu sugi (cypress)” and Kishu Kumano hinoki(cedar)” which are famous as “Kishu wood”, and uses juniper berry as the base of the aroma of gin. The fragrances of the three materials contain a lot of ingredients called “”alpha pinene”” and deepen the fragrance of each other. At first, the scent of Japanese cedar rises, and when you put it in your mouth, the calm and thick scent and flavor of Japanese cypress spreads a little later. Refreshing and smooth texture with Wakayama citrus, and sharp aftertaste with Wakayama Japanese pepper
Ukiyo Blossom Gin
Drawing on over a century of distilling wisdom, Ukiyo Japanese Blossom Gin is born in Kagoshima from a base of locally grown rice that is distilled into a traditional shch spirit. We redistill our shch with juniper, regional citrus, cherry blossom and native botanicals, always exercising restraint in the pursuit of clarity and perfection. The fruits of this endeavour are born out in the delicate blossom aroma that emulate those found in the mountains and coastline surrounding our home in Kagoshima.
