ROKU JAPANESE GIN 

Roku, translating to the word ‘six’ in Japanese, is a crafted gin created with six botanicals sourced from Japan. These high quality botanicals, harvested from the best growing areas in Japan each season, include sencha and gyokuro teas, celebrating summer, as well as the Sakura flower and leaf, which bloom in spring. Showcasing the unique flavours Japan produces in autumn, Sansho pepper adds a unique taste, as well as the peel of yuzu fruit, which finishes off the harmonious flavours of Roku Japanese Gin, and represents the winter botanical.

Roku Japanese Gin can be enjoyed on the rocks or in a Japanese Gin & Tonic. Prepared with extra care, the Roku Japanese Gin & Tonic can be served with ice and slices of ginger to complement the refreshing and citrus top notes of yuzu. 

In a 750ml bottle at 43% ABV, Roku Japanese Gin is available at a recommended retail price of R299 in major retailers nationally; Makro, Pick n Pay, Checkers, and selected TOPS at Spar.  You can also order online through TakealotNorman Goodfellows and others.
