Appearance

The abundant citrus essential oils in this drink make it white and cloudy when served on ice or mixed with soda water.

Nose

Fresh and rich aroma of amanatsu with a mild sweetness and subtle notes of citrus and green tea.

Delicate and tangy sweetness of amanatsu, balanced by nuances of juniper berries and green tea.

Finish

Long and persistent, sweet and tangy, with a refreshing slight bitterness from the green tea.

Craft Gin Setouchi Amanatsu, the second craft gin from the Setouchi distillery, is based on the concept of a fruity taste that condenses the delicacy of amanatsu. Known as the Japanese summer orange, it is harvested from April to May. When peeled, a lively aroma is released, and on the palate, a sweet, tangy, juicy flavour spreads instantly. For this recipe, Setouchi amanatsu is the main botanical, accompanied by Japanese green tea and juniper berries. The gin is made with high-quality spring water, drawn from a depth of 60 metres on Mount Haigamine, a remote 737-metre-high mountain in the town of Kure.

Setouchi

With a strong desire to take on new challenges while preserving tradition, Miyake Honten, brewer of sake for over 100 years, unveils its new project: Craft Gin Setouchi Lemon.
