This Gin carries with it the tradition of Japanese distillation art, being the result of meticulous and expert work by a family that has passed down the art and knowledge of this discipline for generations. The term "Ukiyo" literally means "floating world" and refers to a mental state that focuses on the here and now, detaching from the difficulties that life presents.
"Japanese Blossom" Gin by Ukiyo Spirits is produced from a harvest of local barley initially distilled into shōchū liquor, which is distilled a second time in a still with the addition of juniper, mandarin, and spices, concluding with the infusion of Sakura flower and yuzu to infuse delicacy to the taste. This distillate presents itself as a tribute to the magnificent "Hanami" period, that of cherry blossom,during the spring season, a time when the Japanese traditionally celebrate the rebirth of nature and the change of season.
