You don’t just sip Roku, you step into a Japanese garden in bloom. Made with six native botanicals, each representing a different season, this gin carries the quiet precision of Kyoto craftsmanship and the sensory detail of a haiku. It’s refreshing, floral, and subtly spiced, a masterclass in harmony.

Suntory Roku Gin
Brand: Suntory | Category: Japanese Craft Gin | ABV: 43% | Origin: Japan | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Crisp and fresh, yuzu citrus and cherry blossom rise first, softened by a hint of green tea and pink pepper.
Palate: Silky and clean. Notes of sansho pepper, sencha tea, and coriander dance over delicate juniper. A whisper of florals stays beneath it all.
Finish: Long and gentle, citrus oil, light spice, and soft herbal lift. It leaves you refreshed, not overwhelmed.

Production Details
Roku, meaning “six”, incorporates six uniquely Japanese botanicals: sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha, gyokuro, and sansho pepper. Each is distilled separately, then blended to perfection by Suntory’s gin masters, ensuring clarity and seasonal balance in every bottle.

Perfect For
Roku thrives in highballs. Pour it tall with sparkling water, ice clear cubes, and a yuzu twist or mix into elegant cocktails where gin plays the leading role without dominating the stage.

Expert Notes
Praised by bartenders globally for its versatility and refinement. It’s complex enough for connoisseurs, but approachable for newcomers to craft gin. A staple in modern cocktail bars from Tokyo to London.
