KI NO BI SEI DRY GIN
KI NO BI SEI is made according to the same intricate production method as the original KI NO BI, using 11 botanicals distilled in six distinct flavour categories, known as the 6 Elements. In contrast with the original KI NO BI, which has a delicate and gentle profile, KI NO BI SEI has a thicker mouthfeel and full-bodied flavour, which works well in cocktails.

KOZUE GIN
This gin features several botanicals local to Wakayama Prefecture, where it is made, including mandarin peel, lemon peel, and sansho. The juniper used is imported from Europe. However, what sets Kozue apart is the use of Japanese umbrella pine (koyamaki). The nose brings abundant pine and pepper spice, while the palate rolls out with citrus, pine, and spice. For a 47% ABV release, it’s extremely smooth and drinkable.
