"When you approach Ukiyo Blossom Gin, you are stepping into the fleeting beauty of Japan’s spring — a celebration of renewal, elegance, and the delicate artistry of nature in bloom. Crafted in Chiba with a base of locally grown rice spirit and distilled with eleven botanicals, including hand-selected sakura flower and sakura leaf, this expression captures the poetic spirit of Hanami and the ephemeral grace of the “Floating World.”
On the nose, soft cherry blossom and bright orange lift gently from the glass, accompanied by a subtle floral sweetness reminiscent of parma violet. As it rests on the palate, the gin unfolds into a refined harmony of juniper and citrus, layered with delicate woody spice and coriander. The finish is smooth, lightly perfumed, and elegantly balanced — a graceful expression that lingers like petals carried on a spring breeze."
