ROKU, which translates as “six” in Japanese, is the House of Suntory’s distinctly Japanese craft gin. ROKU is crafted using six unique Japanese botanicals and eight traditional gin botanicals. These botanicals are infused, distilled, and blended by the Japanese
artisans of Suntory Spirits in Osaka, Japan, giving the gin a unique and balanced flavor.
The premium gin was inspired by the Japanese four seasons, as each one of the six Japanese botanicals are harvested in accordance with “shun,” the Japanese tradition of enjoying each ingredient at its best by only harvesting at its peak of flavor and perfection. The Japanese botanicals - Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea, and Sansho pepper - are all distilled using a selection of different pot stills, each chosen to ensure that the best flavor is extracted from each botanical. The result is a complex yet harmonious gin with a smooth and silky texture.
Nose: Cherry blossom and green tea provide a floral and sweet aroma.
Palate: Complex, multi layered, yet harmonious flavour of various botanicals. Traditional gin taste in the base, plus characteristic Japanese botanical notes with yuzu as the top note. Smooth and silky texture.
Finish: The crisp Japanese sansho pepper brings a little spiciness to the finish.
