Come Alive with the Seasons
Drawing inspiration from spring’s abundance, the Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition is made using freshly picked Sakura, or Japanese cherry blossom. This special edition honors the Hanami festival, when Japanese people gather each spring to enjoy Sakura in bloom.
Celebrate the best of every season
With the changing of the seasons comes new flavors treasured for their ephemerality. In Japan, these fleeting moments are celebrated at seasonal festivals throughout the year. Each festival is intimately connected to the Japanese concept of “Shun” – the idea of enjoying seasonal flavors and moments at their peak.
The Roku Gin Seasonal Festival Collection takes inspiration from seasonal Japanese festivals. Crafted using a characteristic seasonal botanical paired elegantly with Roku’s six unique Japanese botanicals, the collection embodies the concept of “Shun”. The first release is the Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition – a celebration of the Sakura blossom season, which arrives with intense beauty each spring, only to quickly fade until spring’s arrival the following year.
Taste the freshness and brightness of springtime
Design that springs to life
Roku’s iconic six-sided bottle design and embossed botanicals of the Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition represent each of the six unique botanicals which Japanese artisans use to craft Roku Gin. The Sakura Bloom Edition comes in a label designed by washi paper artist Eriko Horiki to simulate falling Sakura Blossom. Designed by an esteemed Japanese artist, the elegant outer packaging brings a classic Hanami scene to life.
Enjoy life at its peak
OPEN YOUR HEART TO "SHUN" AND EXPERIENCE FLAVOR AND LIFE AT ITS APEX
Every season bursts with new life and flavors that disappear almost as quickly as they arrive. The Japanese sensibility of “Shun” means appreciating seasonal flavors and moments while they are at their best – a practice exemplified by Japan’s many seasonal festivals. The Roku Gin Festival Collection channels the ethos of “Shun” into a limited edition gin for each of the seasons, inspired by countless seasonal festivals. Carefully crafted by Japanese artisans to highlight a seasonal botanical that balances beautifully with each of Roku’s six core botanicals, each edition is a festival for the palate. The Sakura Bloom Edition is the first release in the collection and uses freshly picked Sakura blossoms to evoke the experience of the Hanami festival.
Crafted for perfect balance
Roku Gin is precisely balanced by trained Japanese artisans who combine traditional and modern techniques with exceptionally fresh botanicals.
