Roku Japanese Craft Gin
Roku Japanese Craft Gin
Tasting notes
Nose
Cherry blossoms and green tea provide a floral and sweet aroma.
Palate
Layered and complex, yet harmonious. A traditional gin base carries the Japanese botanicals, with yuzu at the top. Smooth, silky in texture.
Finish
Crisp Japanese sansho pepper leaves a gentle spiciness behind.
A Botanical Gin, Distilled in Japan
Suntory has been distilling gin since 1936. Roku was introduced in 2017 and guided by our company philosophy that every product should be indicative of the nature and spirit of Japan.
Our distilleries wait to harvest ingredients at the right time: sakura in the spring and yuzu in winter. We honor an ingredient at the peak of its freshness, a Japanese belief known as shun. Roku is distilled in Osaka at our Spirits and Liqueurs Craft Distillery, where each botanical is placed in balance with each other and one of four different distillation methods will be employed to extract the best and most delicious flavor.
Crafted Cocktails for Roku Gin
Roku Gin Fizz
If you're going to make one drink with Roku Gin, make it a Roku Gin Fizz.. One of the most refreshing gin cocktails in the Roku range, the Roku Gin Fizz uses fresh lime juice to highlight Roku's signature botanicals, holding them in perfect balance.
Light and celebratory, it's the one to reach for when the mood calls for a little sparkle. Shake it long, serve it tall and cold, and let the six seasonal botanicals carry the drink from first sip to last.
Roku Gin & Tonic
A clean, bright serve that lets Roku's Japanese botanicals speak for themselves. Pour it over plenty of ice with a delicate tonic and garnish with fresh ginger to lift the yuzu and sakura at the heart of the gin.
Clean, bright and endlessly refreshing, it's the simplest way to savor the seasons in a single glass, on a quiet evening or at the center of a celebration
Roku Negroni
A Japanese take on the Italian classic. Where the Negroni leans bittersweet, Roku brings the bright citrus of yuzu and the gentle, tingling spice of sansho pepper to the balance of vermouth and bitters, for a stirred drink with real depth.
This is the slow serve, built for sipping. Stir it over a single large cube, garnish with an orange twist, and let Roku's botanicals reveal themselves layer by layer. Elegant, contemplative and quietly Japanes.
