Roku Gin
Description
Discover Roku Gin, the artisanal Japanese gin created by the prestigious House of Suntory, renowned for its mastery of distillation and deep respect for Japanese tradition. Its name, Roku —meaning “six” in Japanese— refers to the six native botanicals that set it apart: sakura flower, sakura leaf, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, sanshō pepper, and yuzu.
Each ingredient is harvested at its ideal time, distilled separately, and blended with precision to reflect Japan’s seasonal harmony. The result is a balanced, refined, and deeply aromatic gin, combining Eastern elegance with the finest modern distillation techniques.
Awarded at international competitions such as the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Wine & Spirit Competition, Roku Gin has become one of the most admired premium gins among bartenders and mixology enthusiasts.
Distillery
Crafted by House of Suntory, pioneers in Japanese whisky and spirits since 1899, Roku Gin is the result of over a century of expertise and a relentless pursuit of artisanal perfection.
Produced at the Osaka Distillery, each Japanese botanical is combined with traditional gin botanicals — such as juniper, coriander, bitter orange peel, lemon, and cinnamon — to achieve a unique balance of freshness, complexity, and subtlety.
Its hexagonal glass bottle reflects Roku’s philosophy: precision, beauty, and respect for nature, with engravings that symbolise the six Japanese botanicals at its heart.
