About The Producer Sakurao
These complementary expressions from Sakurao Distillery are taken directly from the distillery's pristine stills. A tribute to Japan and its natural treasures, these gins contain up to 17 botanicals harvested entirely in Hiroshima prefecture. It's like no other gin in the world! The precious plant ingredients are processed using the latest hybrid distillation technology (see "Did you know?"). As a result, these Japanese gins boast a wide array of breathtaking aromas. Forget everything you thought you knew about gin. Sakurao Distillery opened its doors in 2018 on the shores of the Seto Inland Sea in the city of Hatsukaichi Drawing on the wealth of knowledge held by a team of accomplished Japanese craftsmen, all of whom hail from the Hiroshima area, the distillery aims to become a leading player on the market with authentic and expertly made products bearing the marks of their extraordinary surroundings. In addition to its brand new, innovative facilities, the distillery never hesitates to repurpose its equipment and make artful modifications in order to obtain precise aromatic profiles. The art of distillation is masterfully handled by Miki Wahara, the first woman to hold the position of distillation manager at Sakurao. All these factors contribute to a unique range of elegant, fruity gins that are distilled and bottled in Japan.
