Roku Gin 700ml

A Japanese ode to the four seasons in every sip

Roku is a Japanese craft gin made by Suntory in Osaka. Its name means "six," a tribute to its six seasonal Japanese botanicals, complemented by eight traditional botanicals. Each ingredient is distilled separately to capture its unique character, then blended into a harmonious and balanced blend.
