SAKURAO Hiroshima Botanicals

17 types of botanicals from Hiroshima

SAKURAO GIN is produced in a German-made, copper hybrid still. We utilize a hybrid distillation method that simultaneously incorporates the steeping method in which distillation is performed after immersing botanicals in a clear-tasting base spirits, as well as the vapor method in which botanicals are placed in a basket that is installed in the distillation path, and flavors are extracted from alcohol vapor passing through the botanicals. This hybrid method is the best way to extract the flavors of each and every botanical.
