Senjo Sakura Japanese Craft Gin (45%) (500ml)

The Sakura Japanese Craft Gin is a passion project born out of the 156-year-old Senjo Brewery’s mission “to develop rice fermentation culture of the future”. The juniper-rich craft gin is made from a base distillate of Sakamai rice (the best rice for sake-brewing), pure water from the Japanese Alps, and extract of Sakura leaves, which are harvested from more than 20 cherry trees planted in Senjo Brewery’s private garden.

Label Art – “SAKURA” by Adeline yeo-Matsuzaki
