Ki No Bi Gin 700ml

Ki No Bi Gin embodies the essence of Kyoto, Japan, offering a unique expression of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary culinary artistry. As the first Japanese gin distilled in Kyoto, Ki No Bi, which translates to 'The Beauty of the Seasons,' marries time-honored methods with exceptional regional botanicals.

This distinctive gin is crafted with a complex blend of authentic Japanese ingredients, including the aromatic yellow yuzu, revered hinoki wood chips, fresh bamboo, sophisticated gyokuro tea from Uji, and a hint of spicy green sansho berries. Each component is selected for its unique character, ensuring every sip tells a story of its origin.

With a robust 45.7% ABV and a base of carefully distilled rice spirit, Ki No Bi also draws from the pristine water sourced from the esteemed Fushimi sake brewing district. It's this dedication to quality and the meticulous process of categorizing and distilling the botanicals—Base, Citrus, Tea, Herbal, Spice, and Floral—that sets Ki No Bi apart.

Upon tasting, one is greeted with an invigorating freshness reminiscent of Kyoto's sacred mountains. The zesty notes of yuzu intermingle seamlessly with the gentle warmth of ginger, while the nuances of juniper elevate the Japanese botanicals. A lingering finish of sansho pepper leaves a captivating warmth, much like the morning mist that blankets a serene bamboo forest.

Ki No Bi Gin is not just a spirit—it’s an invitation to experience the rich cultural tapestry of Kyoto in a glass. Perfect for enjoying in a classic gin and tonic or as a base for innovative cocktails, this gin offers a new perspective on a beloved classic while celebrating the beauty of its birthplace.
