Elevate Your Cocktails with Roku

Gin and Tonic is one of the most popular gin cocktails in the world for its simplicity and versatility. It suits both formal and informal occasions, and when the right complements are chosen, the enjoyment reaches unparalleled levels. 

This Roku Sakura Gin & Tonic lets you taste the very essence of spring. Use Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition as the base and enhance your gin & tonic with a cherry garnish to evoke the spirit of Hanami, the traditional Japanese “flower viewing” festival. These sensations are only possible when you master the art of gin-making, just as the craftsmen at our Osaka distillery do.

If after trying it you find yourself wanting more, explore other mixed drinks like the Roku Hanami Fizz—another burst of pure spring brought to life with our Roku Japanese gin.

Serving up Japanese hospitality

In Japan, hospitality is not merely an act but a deeply rooted philosophy known as Omotenashi—a tradition that embodies sincerity, thoughtfulness, and the ability to anticipate needs before they are expressed. This timeless principle seeks to create experiences that are not only welcoming but also profoundly meaningful, leaving an indelible mark on those who encounter it.

At the House of Suntory, this philosophy serves as our guiding inspiration. Every spirit we craft—Japanese gin, whisky or vodka—reflects the meticulous care, precision, and respect that define our legacy. Our dedication extends beyond crafting exceptional spirits; we aspire to be part of life’s most cherished moments, both today and for generations to come.
