Suntory Roku Gin Sakura Bloom [700ML]

Description

What if you could capture the fleeting beauty of Japan’s cherry blossom season in a single sip?

Suntory Roku Sakura Bloom Gin represents a masterpiece from the House of Suntory’s inaugural Seasonal Festival Collection. This limited-edition expression celebrates hanami tradition, incorporating actual sakura blossoms and leaves alongside Roku’s signature six Japanese botanicals. The ephemeral nature of cherry blossoms – blooming for just two weeks each spring – makes this gin as rare as it is beautiful. For those exploring premium Japanese spirits, consider comparing with Nikka Coffey Gin or the distinctive Ukiyo Japanese Tokyo Dry Gin for different flavor profiles.
