大和蒸留所 YAMATO DESTILEY

GIN DISTILLERY (GOSE, NARA, JAPAN)

It is a premium GIN produced by the manufacturer of the famous Japanese sake brand "Kaze no Mori", and like all its products it is very hard to purchase. Mr. Yamamoto, who has been hailed a young genius maker of Japanese sake, maintains his highest level also when producing gin. His gin shocked the world of gin makers with its excellence. Because of the limited production and high deman finding KIKKA GIN even in Japan has become difficult.

The name "Yamato" is the old name of the Nara Prefecture. The history of alcohol in Japan began with this area. In production of this gin - rice spirit (shochu) is used as the primary alcohol and juniper berries are used as the primary plant ingredient. Appreciating the traditions of the Nara (Yamato) area, the additives used are the local Yamato Tachibana and Yamato Toki.

[Yamato Tachibana] Citrus fruit, unique for Japan, which has existed for 2,000 years, is considered to be the oldest citrus plant in Japan, and is considered an endangered species and is under protection.

[Yamato Toki] A plant whose medical properties can be found in the oldest Japanese writings, such as the Japanese Chronicle - "Nihonshoki„. It is a plant from the parsley family, which has a specific sweet smell.

Enjoy the harmony of the citrus scent of Yamato Tachibana and the unique sweet and mellow taste of Yamato Toki in KIKKA GIN.
