Description
What kind of spirit is this
Etsu Pacific Ocean Water Gin is a contemporary Japanese spirit at 43% ABV, crafted from a neutral cereal base. Distilled with pure mountain spring water and Pacific Ocean seawater, it delivers a clear profile with a distinctly coastal, saline-iodine character. The aromatic core features juniper elevated by yuzu, while bitter orange peel, coriander, angelica, and liquorice root provide balanced herbal depth. On the palate, the spirit is soft and silky, offering a rounded mouthfeel and a harmonious finish suited to a gin and tonic, refined cocktails, or neat service.
Where it comes from
Originating from Hokkaido, Japan, this spirit is produced at Asahikawa Distillery. Its local identity stems directly from the selected water sources, integrating mountain spring water with ocean seawater. This coastal influence supports a fresh, mineral style where pronounced saline and iodine nuances sit alongside juniper and bright citrus notes. The result reflects a focused Japanese approach to distillation, prioritising clarity, precision, and a remarkably clean botanical profile.
How it is produced
This gin is produced by distilling a cereal base with botanicals including juniper berries, yuzu, bitter orange peel, coriander, angelica, and liquorice root, alongside hints of tea and peppers. Incorporating ocean water directly into the process ensures maritime salinity and an iodised freshness. The spirit retains a balanced citrus structure, leading to a smooth finish. It is best served chilled at 6–8 °C, either neat with lemon peel and peppercorns or paired with fresh seafood such as sushi, oysters, and shellfish.
