Etsu Sakura Gin｜ Other Products

Hanami — "flower viewing" — is the centuries-old Japanese tradition of gathering under the cherry blossoms each spring, a fleeting few days when the country turns pink and the air fills with delicate perfume. Etsu Sakura bottles that moment. Distilled at the Akita Distillery in northern Honshū with pure water from the Ōu Mountains, it takes the house's Japanese botanical bill — pre-dried yuzu peel for zest, green bitter orange peel for body, coriander for a touch of sweetness and menthol lift, juniper, licorice root, and angelica for structure — and adds sakura petals, which contribute a subtle, delicate floral sweetness that balances the citrus rather than perfuming over it. Bottled at 43% ABV. Expect an elegant, floral nose marked by the softness of cherry blossom and the freshness of yuzu, opening into a refined, lightly sweet palate where the flower and the citrus trade places, finishing clean and gentle. The bottle is the collector's piece: the Geisha is Etsu's emblem, and here she's rendered as a hand-blown glass figure sealed inside each borosilicate bottle, no two exactly alike, presented in a silver-marked gift box — the original limited edition ran just 5,000 bottles worldwide. It's the softest expression in a range that includes the saline Pacific Ocean Water and the citrus-driven Double Yuzu. Serve it with tonic and a twist, in a floral Martini, or in a Sakura Sour.
