Kyoya Shuzo Premium Yuzu Gin 750ml

Kyoya Shuzo Premium Yuzu Gin is a remarkable spirit that embodies the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and innovation. Sourced from the prestigious Kyoya Shuzo distillery, renowned for its exceptional shochu, this gin takes the tradition of distilling to new heights with its unique flavor profile and vibrant character. At its heart lies a base of sweet potato spirit, creating a bold foundation that distinguishes this gin from conventional options, delivering a delightful peppery finish.

Infused with the zesty essence of yuzu, this Miyazaki-made gin is enhanced by a carefully selected blend of eight botanicals, including ginger, sanshō pepper, and hyuganatsu—a sweet-sour citrus that adds a refreshing complexity. The nose entices with an aromatic bouquet of citrus, pomelo, and sweet notes, harmoniously intertwined with hints of juniper that set the stage for the tasting journey ahead.

On the palate, Kyoya Shuzo Premium Yuzu Gin offers a well-balanced twist on the classic London dry style. Its oleaginous and chewy texture delights the senses, as the sweet potato base imparts body and richness, while the hyuganatsu introduces subtle sour and bitter undertones. Each sip exemplifies the vibrant yuzu flavor that lingers beautifully.

The finish reveals layers of juniper, ginger, and sanshō pepper, culminating in a refreshing blend of citrus, coriander, and cucumber. This gin shines when mixed with soda, tonic, or in classic cocktails like the Fitzgerald and Army & Navy, showcasing its versatility and elegance.

Awarded the Superior Gold Medal at the Tokyo Whisky & Spirit Award 2019, Kyoya Shuzo Premium Yuzu Gin promises an unforgettable tasting experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation in every bottle.
