- old experience in the production of sake. A slow and patient phase of infusion and maceration of the botanicals follows, in order to extract all the precious aromas of herbs, roots, plants and berries. The selection of ingredients has been curated with great knowledge of classic Gin, choosing the best of what Japanese flora can offer. The botanicals are divided into six large families: the basic ingredients, such as juniper, iris, Hinoki wood; the citrus fruits of yellow and lemon Yuzu; the herbs of Kinome shoots and green pepper Sansho; the spices represented by ginger; the flowers and fruit with bamboo and sisho leaves and finally the inevitable Gyokuro green tea. The six groups of botanicals are distilled separately, in order to create homogeneous bases characterized by clear expressive purity. Only at a later stage is the assembly carried out, in order to obtain the perfect harmony. Before bottling, the Gin is lowered in strength with the purest water from the Fushimi springs.
