Sakura Bloom Edition Tasting Notes
Delicate Complexity,
In Full Bloom
The Nose
Bright and inviting, evoking the freshness of early Spring. Gentle and soft floral scent of the cherry blossom, reminiscent of a Japanese garden during Hanami.
The Palate
Soft, smooth top notes, subtly sweet and richly elegant. A nostalgic hint of the saltiness of Sakura-mochi, the traditional sweet of the season, balanced with the fruity sweetness of cherry blossoms. Meticulously blended with ROKU’s original botanicals.
The Finish
A lingering finish that invites the next sip. As each blossom falls away, a new blossom is anticipated.
The Botanicals
Sakura Leaf
Rested in salt, Sakura leaves become sweeter. This limited edition's unique Sakura flavour comes from salted Sakura leaf distillate - enhancing the rich aroma of the Sakura leaf traditionally used to wrap mochi in Spring.

Sakura Flower
The Yaezakura is a late bloomer. One we patiently wait to harvest each year. Famed for its beauty and strength, this double-flowered Sakura is handpicked and freshly macerated in spirits for its floral, sweet aroma.
Yuzu Peel
Harvested mainly in Western Japan in Winter, we prize Yuzu for its deep aroma and body, richer than ordinary lemons.
Sencha Tea
Japan’s most popular tea. Bathed in warm sunlight from Spring to Summer and harvested for its soft character. In our gin, it adds a refreshing profile with a mild earthiness.
Gyokuro Tea
These special tea leaves are shielded from sunlight for 3-4 weeks. The subsequent increase in amino acids elevates our gin with its strong umami and soft bitterness.
Sanshō Pepper
The Japanese have utilised the unique aroma of sanshō from ancient times. We harvest budo sanshō, renowned as the most exquisite, for its crisp, spicy finish.
