Distilled from 100% grain neutral spirit and finished with a touch of sake, each botanical is distilled separately using a vacuum distillation process — similar to techniques used in perfumery — to preserve the delicate, true-to-source aromatics of every ingredient before they're blended together. The nose opens juniper-forward, quickly joined by bright yuzu and lime, layered with cedarwood, sansho pepper's tingling spice, and grassy shiso. On the palate, that same citrus brightness carries through, softened by a touch of green tea sweetness and rounded out with earthy, herbaceous depth, before finishing clean and long with lingering pink-peppercorn zing and a dry, citrus-tinged fade. Bottled at 40–42% ABV depending on market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE NAME\u003cbr\u003eThe gin takes its name from the 135th meridian east — the line of longitude that runs directly through Akashi City in Hyogo Prefecture, home to the Kaikyō Distillery. It's a fitting name for a spirit built on the meeting point of two traditions: classic London Dry structure and Japan's centuries-old botanical pantry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTYLE: LONDON DRY-STYLE JAPANESE GIN\u003cbr\u003eKEY BOTANICALS: JUNIPER, ANGELICA, CORIANDER, SENCHA GREEN TEA, YUZU, SHISO LEAF, UME, SANSHO PEPPER\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCTION NOTE: EACH BOTANICAL VACUUM-DISTILLED SEPARATELY, THEN BLENDED; FINISHED WITH A TOUCH OF SAKE\u003cbr\u003eMASTER DISTILLER: KIMIO YONEZAWA\u003cbr\u003eSPECIAL NOTES: NAMED FOR THE 135° EAST MERIDIAN RUNNING THROUGH AKASHI CITY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaikyo Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967256543462,"sku":"SPT-098","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2697\/3158\/files\/SPT-098-web.jpg?v=1783691414","url":"https:\/\/dcsake.com\/products\/135-east-hyogo-dry-gin","provider":"DC Sake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
