Ukiyo Japanese Blossom Gin is an extraordinary tribute to the Japanese tradition of Hanami, the conscious experience of the sakura blossom. ‘Ukiyo’ means ‘the floating world’ and represents a mindset that celebrates living in the moment – and this gin perfectly captures that very feeling with its floral elegance and gentle texture.

Produced in Kagoshima, in the imposing shadow of the active Sakurajima volcano, this gin is based on traditional Japanese shochu, a spirit distilled from rice. Re-distillation with carefully selected botanicals results in an exceptionally smooth gin that captures the essence of spring. Delicate notes of cherry blossom lend it a gentle floral sweetness, whilst fresh citrus fruits and classic juniper provide balance and depth.

Ukiyo Japanese Blossom Gin is ideal for elegant gin and tonics, best served with a mild or floral tonic water and garnished with dried cherry blossoms or a twist of lemon. It also reveals its unique aromas in cocktails such as a Sakura Martini or a Japanese Blossom Collins. Enjoyed neat over ice, it offers a gentle, floral taste experience. Its delicate, floral notes also make it the perfect accompaniment to light Asian dishes, sushi or delicate desserts.
