Crafted by Japanese artisans, ROKU is a multi-layered, perfectly balanced gin combining both traditional and six uniquely Japanese botanicals: 1. Sakura Flower 2. Yuzu Peel 3. Sencha Tea 4. Sansho Pepper 5. Sakura Leaf 6. Gyokuro Tea. These six Japanese botanicals have been carefully selected to create ROKU, Japan's authentic craft gin. Each botanical has been harvested at the peak of its season to extract the best flavour and distilled to fully embody the blessings of nature. The harvest of the four seasons has been blended to create ROKU's balanced flavour.
Each bottle of ROKU holds one hundred years of dreams
The Torii Shoten Store, the predecessor of Suntory, opened in 1899 as a result of the dream of young Shinjiro Torii, who at the age of 20 wanted to "create original Japanese Spirits the whole world can enjoy, uniquely made from Japan's nature and her people."
Shinjiro overcame numerous hardships to make his dream a reality, creating wine, whisky and brandy, and launching the first Suntory gin in 1936. Shinjiro and his successors continued to work hard on building a deep knowledge of distilling alcohol. The creation and perfection of ROKU are based on more than 100 years of distilling expertise.
"Someday, spirits produced in Japan will be loved all over the world." Shinjiro Torii
ROKU is the result of an history of over a century of dreams.
