Gin cocktails
Suntory launched its first gin in 1936 from the Osaka Distillery and Liqueur Atelier established in 1919. Founder Shinjiro Torii opened the plant as a “dream factory” to experiment with recipes and blending techniques that have been refined and improved by his successors over the last century with a kaizen approach to quality and character.
The House of Suntory strives to capture nature as it’s bursting with life the Japanese call “shun”. The changing seasons bring new flavors to life through botanicals harvested at their peak, which are preserved by craftsmen through maceration, distillation, and blending. Roku Gin mixes seamlessly in seasonal cocktails or classics such as the Gin Fizz or Gin and Tonic, which accentuate the vibrant flavors and fresh aromas of the gin’s six botanicals.
Gin cocktail recipes inspired by Japanese nature
Japanese gin is known for its versatility, offering countless opportunities for experimentation during the creation process and when crafting gin cocktails.
The distinctive profile of Roku Gin results from balancing traditional botanicals with unique Japanese ingredients, like yuzu, sansho pepper, and Gyokuro tea. Its floral and sweet aroma, which evolves into complex flavor layers of citrus and spice, transforms Roku gin cocktails into a vibrant fruity and fresh experience. A masterful spirit for exploring the authentic flavors of Japan, especially when garnished with cherries, plums, or sakura flowers.
The art of Japanese gin cocktails
Gin consumption in Japan has been closely linked to the popularization of mixed drinks in cities like Tokyo and Osaka, but it can be savored in many different ways. Especially when we talk about Japanese gin, as its complex yet balanced multi-layered flavors are exceptional when enjoyed neat and add a singular touch to any gin cocktail.
We are living in a golden age for artisanal gin, with masterpieces like Roku and Roku Kasane Edition. These have established themselves as excellent choices to enjoy  flavors of Japanese  because of their unique mix of botanicals and as a wonderful companion for special moments—whether shared with others or in moments of introspection. A sweet and harmonious presence that truly touches the heart.
