Etsu Japanese Gin Pacific Ocean Water is an innovative premium gin from Japan that impresses with its maritime character, crisp aromatics and artisanal production. Distilled at the Asahikawa Distillery on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaidō, this gin is based on an exceptional recipe: The water used is drawn directly from the depths of the Pacific Ocean during the distillation process. This unique feature gives the gin its mineral freshness and subtle saltiness, which harmonise perfectly with the finely balanced botanicals.

To develop its distinctive flavour profile, the botanicals are macerated for 22 hours before distillation takes place. Typical Japanese botanicals such as yuzu peel, bitter orange, green tea, sansho pepper and coriander are used; combined with the seawater, they create a complex yet clear and invigorating taste experience. Etsu Pacific Ocean Water pays homage to Japan’s natural world and offers a stylish way to add an original, exotic twist to classic drinks.

Tasting Note

Colour: Clear.

Nose: Fresh, with pronounced citrus notes and a hint of salt, complemented by subtle hints of yuzu and floral accents.

Palate: Salty and rounded, underpinned by maritime minerality and balanced by the lively freshness of yuzu, bitter orange and green tea.

Finish: Smooth, soft and silky with a pleasantly fresh, slightly salty note.

Ideal for making a Japanese-inspired gin and tonic with neutral or floral tonic water, garnished with a slice of yuzu or grapefruit. It is also a delight served neat over ice, allowing its salty clarity and balanced citrus notes to take centre stage. Perfectly suited to signature cocktails that emphasise the interplay between citrus fruits and marine minerality. The gin is not only a highlight in terms of flavour but also visually – thanks to its stylish gift box – making it an elegant present for discerning connoisseurs.
