Yoshi Nama Little Tokyo Dry Gin

Yoshi Nama Little Tokyo Dry Gin is an interesting gin that celebrates German-Japanese friendship in all its facets. The first sight of the bottle immediately catches the eye.

The apothecary bottle with its elegant wooden cap is adorned with a red and beige label inspired by Japanese matchboxes from the 1930s. It not only features the name of the gin, but also an enchanting drawing of a tanuki during the distillation process.

This design gives an indication of the special production process. Although the gin is produced in Germany, it is based on the Japanese philosophy of taking nature as a model. For the Little Tokyo Dry Gin, plants were combined that also grow side by side in nature. Juniper berries, sloes, cranberries and gentian root grow on the juniper heath as natural neighbors and form the core of the recipe.

The recipe is rounded off with fresh lemon and grapefruit peel, which give the gin a pleasantly tart, fresh citrus note. Saffron is also included, giving the gin an unmistakable aroma. All botanicals are either wild harvested or organically grown to ensure the highest possible quality.

Are you a lover of Japanese culture or are you looking for gins with that certain something? Then you should definitely try the Yoshi Nama Little Tokyo Dry Gin. It offers complex flavors that come into their own both on their own and with the addition of a classic tonic water.
