Description
What type of spirit it is
Ukiyo Japanese Blossom Gin by Ukiyo is an elegant New Western Gin from Japan, crafted from a barley shōchū base via double distillation. It offers a fresh, smooth profile defined by bright citrus and delicate floral notes. A classic juniper backbone balances vibrant yuzu and cherry blossom. Its precise structure is highly versatile for mixology, effortlessly elevating a Gin and Tonic, shining in a Martini, or proving equally compelling served neat over ice.
Where it comes from
Distilled in Kagoshima, near the Sakurajima volcano, this spirit relies on local expertise in cereal distillation to provide a clean, structured base. Its character draws inspiration from Hanami, the Japanese tradition of admiring spring blossoms. This influence translates into a distinct sakura-led aromatic profile, seamlessly weaving regional identity with bright layers of tangerine and vibrant citrus notes.
How it is produced
Production begins with a barley shōchū base, which undergoes double distillation in a pot still. Botanicals such as coriander, mandarin, violet, and woody spices blend with juniper for a complex foundation. The spirit is then refined through a delicate infusion of cherry blossom and yuzu, securing its fragrant identity. Finally, maturation in steel ensures clarity and softness, resulting in a precise gin with a long, gently floral finish.
