Roku Gin brings a taste of Spring with special pairing menu at Taki Izakaya Bar

 It is available for a limited time only from 5 April to 15 May 2021 

Spring is upon us and with it, fresh new flavors have sprung from the ground while delicate florals are in full bloom. Roku Gin from the House of Suntory invites all for a taste of the best of the above with a special pairing menu at Taki Izakaya Bar. 

Roku Gin, the renowned Japanese Craft Gin that brings together six uniquely Japanese botanicals, has long put front and center the meticulous balance of flavors of traditional gin botanicals. By the Japanese concept of shun – where every ingredient is harvested and captured in its ideal moment – the individual characteristics of the six Japanese botanicals (Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, sansho pepper, and yuzu) combine to become a harmonious moment of pleasure with every sip. 

It is by this immaculate process that we have come to know Roku Gin that is sweet and floral on the nose, complex and multi-layered on the tongue, underlined by a smooth and silky texture, before finishing off with a crisp and mildly spicy finish.
