The first expression within the Seasonal Festival Collection, Roku Sakura Bloom Edition builds on the quality and concept behind Roku Japanese Craft Gin: unique, authentically Japanese gin. It is inspired by one of the most celebrated Japanese festivals and one of Roku's key ingredients, the Sakura Flower (cherry blossom).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted by Japanese artisans with meticulous attention to detail, Roku is a perfect balance of flavours. The gin's unique taste comes from six Japanese botanicals - Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea and Sansho pepper. A complex multiple distillation process brings out the best in each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gin is the true embodiment of 'Shun' where each botanical is harvested at its peak flavour, in this case highlighting one particular season - Spring. The Sakura Bloom Edition celebrates the annual Hanami flower viewing festivals in Japan. It captures the freshness and brightness of Springtime, bringing a soft and sweet floral taste, layered with hints of saltiness from the blossom leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese flavours intertwine with the harmonious blend of botanicals, naturally enhancing the sweetness of Roku and resulting in a delicately complex Roku gin in full bloom. The recommended perfect serve is a gin \u0026amp; tonic, with one part Sakura Bloom Edition, three parts tonic water and a pink grapefruit garnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roku is bright and inviting on the nose, evoking the freshness of early spring.

A lingering finish invites the next sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roku Sakura Bloom Edition is perfect for a gin and tonic.

Each one is sourced in Japan, at the peak of its season. With every sip of Roku you travel through the four seasons.
