Japanese bars and distilleries are famous for producing some of the most inventive and unique drinking experiences thanks to their attention to detail and access to a wide variety of natural ingredients.

Made from six Japanese botanicals grown across all four seasons in Japan, and in conjunction with other botanicals commonly found in gins, the Suntory Roku Gin contrasts sublime notes of citrus with a slightly spicy finish to make for a highly refreshing and distinctly Japanese drinking experience.
