Great flavor begins long before distillation. It begins with nature itself.
In creating Roku Gin, Suntory works with six Japanese botanicals chosen to express the beauty of Japan’s four seasons. But capturing nature at its peak requires more than simply selecting great ingredients.
Sakura flowers, for example, are steeped within just 26 hours of harvest to preserve their delicate aroma at its freshest. Rather than distilling all botanicals together, Roku Gin uses multiple distillation methods and separate distillations for different ingredients, allowing each botanical’s unique character to be expressed with precision before being brought together in harmony.
It is a meticulous process shaped by countless decisions, experiments, and refinements—all in pursuit of expressing the best of each ingredient nature provides.
At Suntory, the pursuit of better flavor never stops. Season after season, we continue to refine, explore, and challenge ourselves in search of new possibilities.
Because every flavor becomes more meaningful when each ingredient is treated with care.
