Komasa Jyozo has been making shochu in Kagoshima for generations and has now broken into gin as well as single malt whisky at their Kanosuke Distillery. Kagoshima's rich terroir is at the heart of everything Komasa makes, and this gin is no different. The hallmark of this three botanical gin is the Komikan Mandarin that is harvested from nearby Sakurajima, the home of Kagoshima's constantly active volcano. Because of the constant volcanic ash fall, the land is inhospitable to rice cultivation and so, this tiny tangerine is an important staple crop in the region. Distilled first in vacuum at Komasa's Hioki Distillery, locally harvested rice is used along with white koji to make kome shochu that is pulled off the still at 40% ABV. Before the second atmospheric distillation, the team adds juniper, coriander, and fresh Sakurajima Komikan Mandarin peel directly to the pot. The result is a massively flavorful 55% ABV gin that is then proofed down to 45% with local Kagoshima water.

On the palate, tangy citrus meets honeyed fruitiness, with a complex bitterness and richness that keeps it from tipping into simple sweetness, before finishing smooth and mellow with just the right lingering tartness. It's a versatile bottle — delicious over ice, mixed with soda water for a quick highball-style spritz, or used as a bright citrus component in cocktails.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE BREWERY\u003cbr\u003eHakutsuru is based in Nada, one of Japan's most historically significant sake-producing regions, prized for centuries for its mineral-rich water. That same sake-brewing expertise underpins Juicy Yuzu, which builds its citrus character on a base of traditional fermentation rather than neutral spirit — giving it a rounder, more rice-driven sweetness than many distilled yuzu liqueurs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTYLE: SAKE-BASED YUZU LIQUEUR\u003cbr\u003eKEY INGREDIENT: 100% JAPANESE YUZU, NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR OR COLOR\u003cbr\u003eSPECIAL NOTES: POPULAR ACROSS ASIAN MARKETS BEFORE ITS INTRODUCTION TO THE U.S. COCKTAIL SCENE; VERSATILE NEAT, ON THE ROCKS, WITH SODA, OR IN COCKTAILS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hakutsuru Shuzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967291506918,"sku":"SPT-103","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2697\/3158\/files\/SPT-103-web.jpg?v=1783693136"},{"product_id":"hakutsuru-ume-plum-liqueur","title":"Hakutsuru Ume Plum Liqueur","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eProduced by Hakutsuru Shuzo in Nada, Hyogo Prefecture — one of Japan's most storied sake-brewing regions — Ume Plum is crafted from 100% Nanko plums, Japan's most prized ume variety, with no artificial flavor or color added. Made in the traditional genshu style, meaning undiluted after production for a fuller, more concentrated character, it delivers a super-rich, bold, fruity flavor at 19.7% ABV. The nose opens with an intoxicating aroma of ripe ume plum, layered with subtle marzipan, citrus zest, and a whisper of blossom. On the palate, a luscious sweetness meets the plum's natural tartness, with nuances of stone fruit, almond, and honey unfolding and evolving with every sip. The finish is long, with that same sweet-and-sour ume character giving way to a slightly bitter undertone that adds real depth. Best enjoyed chilled or over ice, it's also a natural partner for cocktails, especially when paired with bolder spirits like bourbon, scotch, or gin — the ume's sweetness plays beautifully off their intensity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE NAME \u0026amp; TRADITION\u003cbr\u003eHakutsuru means \"white crane\" — the bird's grace and reserved elegance long serving as a symbol of the brewery's quality.

Angelica, licorice, chicory, and ukogi form the backbone, while the final signature note comes from black cumin, an ingredient founder Tatsuya \"Moto\" Motonaga reportedly searched for for years before finally sourcing it on a trip to Hong Kong. The botanicals are macerated in neutral sugarcane spirit and rested in stainless steel. The nose is earthy and aromatic, with angelica root, Earl Grey tea, and bright lemon peel; the palate opens warm and sweet before unfolding into alpine herbs, cacao, grapefruit, and rosemary, finishing with orange peel, dandelion root, and a resinous hint of pine. Bottled at 27% ABV, it's a genuinely versatile amaro — delicious neat, over ice, topped with tonic, or built into a White Negroni.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE DISTILLER\u003cbr\u003eScarlet is the creation of Motonaga, a former bartender who worked in some of Japan's most respected bars — including Bar Caol Ila and Bar BenFiddich — before a trip to Europe convinced him to bring amaro-making to Japan himself. He now grows and harvests many of his own botanicals at a 100-year-old traditional Japanese farmhouse, hand-timing each ingredient's harvest and treating it individually to draw out its character — a painstaking process that limits production to just over 1,000 bottles a month.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTYLE ROOT-FORWARD JAPANESE AMARO\u003cbr\u003eKEY BOTANICALS: ANGELICA ROOT, LICORICE, CHICORY, UKOGI, BERGAMOT, BLACK CUMIN (30+ TOTAL BOTANICALS)\u003cbr\u003eFOUNDER: TATSUYA \"MOTO\" MOTONAGA\u003cbr\u003eSPECIAL NOTES: MANY BOTANICALS ESTATE-GROWN, SOME REQUIRING UP TO 3 YEARS TO CULTIVATE; PRODUCTION LIMITED TO ROUGHLY 1,000 BOTTLES PER MONTH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iseya Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967302287590,"sku":"SPT-109","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2697\/3158\/files\/SPT-109-web.jpg?v=1783694107"},{"product_id":"tozai-blossom-of-peace-plum-sake","title":"Tozai Blossom of Peace Plum Sake","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in 1925 in Kyoto's famed Fushimi district, Kizakura Co., Ltd. crafts approachable sake using soft, smooth Fushimizu water.
