xJapanese Blossom Gin
UKIYO Japanese spirits are born in Chiba east of Tokyo and are made with rice that is masterfully distilled into our Gin and Vodka expressions. We begin with a base of the finest quality spirit made with locally grown rice, a celebration of Japan's most recognised harvest. This native ingredient lends a distinct balance and elevated textural mouthfeel to our gins. We distill with 11 botanicals focusing on 5 native Japanese flavours. Juniper | Yuzu Peel | Mikan Peel | Sakura Flower | Sakura Leaf | Sansho Pepper | Coriander | Angelica Root | Lemon Peel | Cardamon | Rosemary. The result is a range of masterfully distilled Japanese Gins that celebrate the three core gin profiles: Classic, Floral & Citrus.
The journey of this classic floral Gin is born from a distillation with traditional Japanese rice spirit. Our balance, harmony and equilibrium is the result of carefully sourced Japanese Sakura blossom and native botanicals.
In Japan there's a fleeting period during spring when the sakura (cherry) blossoms are in full bloom. In a tradition known as "Hanami" people head out to celebrate the cascading of these blooms and the change of season. Our UKIYO Blossom Gin is a celebration of this moment.
UKIYO Blossom Gin is a multi-award winner across spirits competitions including an IWSC Design Award and a silver medal in the 2024 London Spirits Competition in the Gin category where it was described as "a contemporary gin with barley and floral notes on the nose, offering a smooth palate and a beautiful aftertaste".
UKIYO Blossom Gin has a striking two-colour ombré bottle that reflects the mountains and seas of Japan and symbolises the Japanese art of perfection making it a perfect gift for parties, birthdays, Mother's Day, Valentine's or Christmas.
