🍸 Introducing Ukiyo Yuzu Gin! 🌟

This exquisite gin starts with a base of locally grown barley, distilled into a traditional shochu spirit. Ukiyo takes it to the next level by redistilling the shochu with juniper, yuzu, regional citrus, and botanicals. This process honours a 1500-year-old tradition of cultivating and harvesting yuzu in Japan.

The result? A tart and fragrant yuzu flavour that perfectly blends the zestiness of lemon and grapefruit with the sweet overtones of mandarin orange. It's a unique and refreshing gin experience you won't want to miss.

Come and savour the essence of Japan in a glass at The Gintrap! 🌸🍹
