YUZUGIN is produced by Kyoya Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in Kyushu founded in 1834. Kyoya is leading the way in the Japanese Gin category while staying true to their roots in premium shochu.
While most Japanese gins are made from rice-, barley- or corn-based neutral grain spirit derived from shochu or whisky production, a new wave of distillers is utilizing everything from sweet potato (imo, used to make shochu) to sugarcane. This gin liqueur is made by blending yuzu and kalamansi (a cross between kumquat and tangerine) with a traditional gin base. Bursting at the seams with vibrant citrus notes, it's brilliant on its own or with a dash of tonic and grapefruit peel.t's made with several Japanese botanicals that make it unique compared to gin made in other countries. For example, it's rare to find yuzu peel or Sakura leaf in American-made gin. The rest of the process is similar to any other type of gin, so it's made with rice and tastes like other gin but with a smoky aftertaste.
