Komasa Gin is the craft gin label proudly presented by Komasa Jyozo, a shochu distillery in Kagoshima, Japan with over 130 years of distilling history. Gin and shochu both share the fact that they are distilled spirits. Drawing on decades of distilling expertise and know-how accumulated through making shochu, the distillery unveiled a new line of gins in 2018. Komasa Jyozo uses their rice shochu as the base for Komasa Gin, to which they add juniper berries and as few other ingredients as possible in order to let the main botanicals shine on their own. Komasa Jyozo’s goal is to utilize and express the natural fragrances and flavours of their quality ingredients to the fullest. With Komasa Gin, they hope they have hit upon a revolutionary style of gin that is eminently easy to drink and perfect for everyone. The sweet and refreshing aroma of strawberries with a deep and lingering finish of herbs. These seemingly contradictory personalities coexist without canceling each other out, and each sip will make you want to keep tasting this unique marriage. With the juiciness of strawberries shining through the intricately overlapping flavours, this is a gin that evokes the rich climate of tropical Kagoshima.

The Tokinoka Black Blended Japanese Whisky is a truly remarkable expression of Japanese whisky making. Crafted by Tokinoka, a renowned distillery based in Japan, this 500ml bottle boasts a rich and complex blend of malt and grain whiskies, aged in a variety of casks to create a unique and harmonious flavor profile. On the nose, this whisky offers enticing aromas of sweet honey, toasted oak, and delicate floral notes, with a subtle hint of smoke. The color is a deep amber, with golden highlights that catch the light. On the palate, the Tokinoka Black is smooth and full-bodied, with layers of flavors including caramel, vanilla, and dried fruits, balanced by a touch of spice. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering warmth and a hint of citrus. This blend showcases the mastery of Japanese whisky making and is a must-try for any whisky connoisseur. Enjoy it neat or on the rocks to fully experience its complex and delightful flavors.

Yamazakura is a new release from Sasanokawa distillery, dating back to 1765 with recognised sake and schochu. Based in the city of Koriyama Sasanokawa expanded into whisky in the 1940s. This represents a high-end complement to their entry level whisky range ('Yama' means 'mountain' and 'Sakura' means cherry tree, hence the beautiful label design). This blend is composed of four malt whiskies and one grain whisky. Orange blossoms on the nose, followed by oak, caramel, and fresh orchard fruit on the palate. Ideal in a highball.

A delicate, sweet nose is echoed on the palate; notes of white chocolate, followed by juniper lead to a long, clean finish of green tea.

The higher strength allows the distinctive taste of Ki No Bi's flavour profile to prevail. It is punch on the palate but retains purity and harmony in perfect balance. An outstanding gin for cocktails.

Fresh aroma of yuzu, and a thread of sansho pepper that lingers. The juniper complements and showcases the Japanese botanicals. Ginger root gives a slightly warming, spicy finish.
