Suntory's Roku Gin is expanding upon its Seasonal Festival Collection and even adding an event commemorative one to its range - here's Roku Gin Noryo Tea Edition and Roku Gin Osaka Brilliance Edition!

Roku Gin is by now a beloved Japanese gin that has fast become a household staple, most known for incorporating six unique Japanese botanicals, from Cherry Blossoms to Cherry Leaf, Sencha Tea, Gyokuro, Sansho Pepper and Yuzu, along with eight other traditional gin botanicals (such as Juniper, coriander seeds, angelica root, cardamom, cinnamon and citrus peels). The mastery then comes in Suntory's expertise in blending the different gin components to form a harmonious taste created with just natural ingredients.

Last year, Roku Gin took things a step further with its Seasonal Festival Collection which showcased the inaugural Sakura Bloom edition.

This year, the Seasonal Festival Collection will be expanded with the Noryo Tea Collection, which is said to retain the Roku core, yet here enhanced with the aromas and flavours of Sencha and Gyokuro, which brings out a refreshing taste of tea. This comes in a limited edition packaging which includes the imagery of tea leaves dancing in the air, and whose bottle label is made using Japanese Echizen washi paper. This will be available in May 2025, and comes in at 43% ABV, and is priced at 5,400 Yen (US$37.95).

Next is the Roku Gin Osaka Brilliance Edition which commemorates the 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo, and has thus been released in conjunction. This gin expression is made with the Roku Gin botanicals yet uniquely it is expressed over a rice spirit base, which is said to give a richer, mellower taste and aroma. The presentation box showcases a beautiful and natural scenery of Japan as it continues to shine into the future, capturing a morning sun seen from the Osaka Port. This edition has been bottled at 47% ABV, and is priced at 7,000 Yen (US$49.15).
