Ukiyo Japanese Tokyo Dry Gin is distilled in Kagoshima from a base of shōchū, redistilled with juniper and eleven botanicals including yuzu, mikan, sakura, sanshō pepper, and rosemary. Delicate yet structured, it balances citrus brightness with floral nuance and warm spice. Presented in Ukiyo’s iconic ombré bottle, it embodies the spirit of Tokyo — refined, modern, and distinctly Japanese.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Bright citrus leads with yuzu and mikan peel, lifted by floral sakura and herbaceous rosemary. The palate offers smooth juniper, coriander, and a gentle spice from sanshō pepper. A refined, dry finish lingers with elegance and clarity.
