"When you approach Ukiyo Nashi Pear Gin, you are stepping into the gentle transition of Japan’s late summer into early autumn — a season defined by quiet abundance, balance, and the refined simplicity of nature at its peak. Crafted in Chiba with a base of locally grown rice spirit and distilled with eleven botanicals, this expression highlights the prized Nashi pear, a fruit celebrated for its crisp texture and refreshing sweetness,
embodying the serene essence of the “Floating World.”
On the nose, fresh, succulent pear rises from the glass, lifted by bright citrus and a soft, almost creamy sweetness. As it settles on the palate, the gin reveals a harmonious balance of juniper and orchard fruit, layered with subtle spice and delicate hints of anise and coriander. Gentle herbal nuances and a touch of warmth add depth, while maintaining clarity and precision throughout.The finish is smooth, rounded, and quietly expressive — a refined composition that lingers with soft sweetness and the signature silkiness of our rice-based spirit, like the last golden light of a fading summer evening."
