Sakura flowers herald the arrival of spring. And for Roku, new beginnings with the first ever limited edition gin - Roku Sakura Bloom Edition.
Introducing Sakura Bloom, where every sip reveals the ephemeral beauty of the sakura blossom from bud to bloom to wilting.
Bright and appealing, evoking the freshness of early spring. A delicate and soft floral scent of cherry blossom, reminiscent of a Japanese garden during the Hanami tradition.
It is a traditional Japanese custom to admire the beauty of blooming flowers. The beginning of the Hanami tradition dates back over a thousand years.
In the glass, the gin is brilliantly clear, indicative of an excellent distillation process. Take a moment to savour the aromatic blend of floral notes and citrus hints. On the tongue, the taste is smooth and balanced, with a gently developing complexity that makes you want to pour more.
The unique flavour of this limited edition Sakura comes from the salty sakura leaf distillate - enhancing the rich aroma of sakura leaves, traditionally used for spring mochi packaging. The sakura leaves rest in the salt and become sweeter.
As a tribute to traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the company invited renowned washi artist Eriko Horiki to create the label for the Roku Gin Sakura Bloom edition, which captures the essence of falling sakura blossoms with soft pink and metallic hues.
The bottles are bottled at 43 % alcohol with a volume of 0,7 l.
