Product Information

Add to this a splash of sake distillate and you have a truly artisanal recipe, inspired by the Yonezawa family’s rich history of sake production. Crowned with the secret ingredient: a splash of distilled Akashi-Tai’s Junmai sake that mellows the heat of the sansho pepper.

distilled and bottled in japan with six unique botanicals that are perfectly balanced and boast meticulous attention to detail, delicious tones of cherry blossom and green tea provide a floral and sweet aroma perfected with the classic gin palate. Its name comes from the Coffey stills, used in making whiskey, located at the company's Miyagikyo Distillery.Only after the distillation process is fresh water from the mountain source added, which gives this gin its fresh taste. Nikka, not to be outdone by others in Japan, launched their first gin, the Nikka Coffey Gin, to grow their own stable of other Coffey or column distilled spirits. By combining new flavours that enhance and complement each other, Kimio Yonezawa has created a new innovative and unconventional type of gin: the “Hyogo Dry Gin”. Refreshing yuzu peel, aromatic Shiso leaf, toasted white sesame and sansho pepper spice are carefully selected to create a dry, crisp gin with green notes that perfectly capture the aromatic subtlety of the Japanese palate.

Japanese gin botanicals create a unique aromatic signature with cherry blossoms, yuzu peel, sansho pepper and green tea. The easiest way to pair food with Japanese gin is to stick closely to the local cuisine when looking to match a meal with your drink.
