Tasting Notes

The fusion of a citrus-like aroma with the traditional taste of gin is the most distinctive feature of our original gin.

About Sakurao

Sakurao Brewery and Distillery Co., Ltd. was founded in 1918 in the town of Sakurao in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. For over a hundred years its distillation technique has been passed down through the generations and stories of its long and illustrious history have been shared not only in Hiroshima but also throughout the world. While continuing to respect the traditional techniques cultivated over the years, The Sakurao brewery is embarking on a new endeavor to produce Whiskies and white spirits.

Sakurao’s master distiller uses 100-years of distilling techniques and know-how to select only the best ingredients from Hiroshima to create Sakurao Gin. Its botanicals produce a wide variety of aromatic notes, including citrus such as the florid-smelling lemon and the rich fragrance of yuzu, as well as aromas from Japanese cypress and oyster shells.

Sakurao gin also uses cherry blossoms, known as Sakura in Japanese, which is the symbol of Sakurao, where our distillery is located. And its Limited Edition gin, in addition to juniper berries, also utilizes a total of 17 specially selected botanicals from Hiroshima and has been distilled using traditional methods from England, the home of dry gin. Innovation from tradition. From Hiroshima to the world.
