Kikka Gin Strawberry 700ml

Yamato Distillery in Nara – is an offshoot of Yucho Shuzo, the producers of the insanely delicious Kaze no Mori sake.

This gin is definitely one to mix. The fragrant strawberry seems to intensify with dilution and lends itself to both cocktails and mixers.

Even when mixed with high quality tonic, the strawberry flavour punches through. Garnish with a fresh strawberry.

Apart from Strawberries, this Kikka Gin adds just three locally sourced botanicals – Tachibana, Touki leaves and Juniper berries.

Yamato Tachibana is a species of wild citrus, a variety of mandarin, one of Japan's oldest citrus fruit and extremely rare. Yamato Touki is a type of Japanese Angelica, the leaves have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Nara has been the centre for traditional medicine in Japan since about 700 A.D.

Production of Kikka gin is very limited - produced in small batches using rare Nara botanicals. If you are a gin drinker this one is not to be missed.
