Sakari Shukugawa The Japanese Craft Gin

A new premium gin rises from the land of sake.

Distilling 130 years of brewing tradition, Sakari Gin brings together the distinctive flavor of sake and the aromas of selected Japanese botanicals, for a perfect tasting experience in a 700ml bottle.
How do you bring the rich flavors and aromas of sake to the world of gin?
With two special ingredients that come from the long tradition and practice of sake brewing.
SAKE KASU (SAKE CAKE)
The paste that is left after squeezing rice for sake is called “sake kasu” (sake cake), and it’s still a very precious ingredient. In fact, we use it to distill the alcohol that is used as a base for Sakari Gin. A flavorful and sustainable choice!
SUGI (JAPANESE CEDAR)
Traditionally used to make barrels for sake, Sugi is the main botanical in Sakari Gin. This monumental conifer is the national tree of Japan, often planted around temples and shrines.
They use sugi remains obtained during the production of actual sake barrels.
Japanese botanicals for a uniquely local flavor.
Sake kasu and Sugi are not the only Japanese ingredients that make Sakari Gin unique.
They selected a wealth of local botanicals that express their traditional bond with nature and will make your drinking experience unforgettable.
Sansho (Japanese Pepper), Shiso (Japanese Perilla), Hinoki (Japanese Cypress), Yuzu Juice, Sakura Flower (Cherry Tree Petals)
The only non-local ingredient is juniper berries, essential for a gin.
