This stunning shōchū spirit is then redistilled in another pot still with juniper, mandarin and coriander before the final infusion of cherry blossom. The result is a delicately fragrant and aromatic gin that celebrates traditional Japanese ingredients and distilling processes. Notes of juniper, cherry blossom and orange, with a hint of parma violet and coriander.

UKIYO Blossom Gin is born from a base of locally grown barley that is distilled into a traditional shochu spirit. UKIYO redistill their shochu with juniper, regional citrus, cherry blossom and native botanicals, always exercising restraint in the pursuit of clarity and perfection. The fruits of this endeavour are born out in the delicate blossom aromas that emulate those found in the mountains and coastline surrounding UKIYO's home in Kagoshima.
In Japan, there’s a fleeting period during spring when the Sakura (cherry) blossoms are in full bloom. In a tradition known as ‘Hanami’ the people head out to celebrate the cascading of these blooms and the change of season.

Born in Kagoshima in the shadow of the Sakurajima volcano our Gin is made from a base of traditional Japanese shōchū spirit. When redistilled the high-quality shōchū produces a gentler gin that has a beautifully soft mouthfeel.
And our Rice vodka, which hails from the tropical island of Okinawa, has been meticulously crafted from a traditional Japanese Awamori spirit indigenous and unique to the island."
