Mankai means in Japanese:full bloom. This Japanese Gin is distilled by the Akita distillery on the island of Honshu following an ancestral Asian recipe that requires various herbs, spices and citrus fruits, some of which can only be found in Asia. Its particularity lies in the presence of orange peel and yuzu, which enhance the flavors of licorice, coriander and angelica also present in this floral and fruity elixir.
