Iki no Kura Shuzo, a distillery on Iki, the birthplace of barley shochu, and Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami, the only five-star Michelin Ryokan on a remote island, have jointly developed a craft gin that goes perfectly with sashimi and other seafood and Japanese cuisine. The result is a craft gin that is perfect for sashimi and other seafood, as well as Japanese cuisine.

Using ingredients that are in season in spring, with a focus on “strawberries,” the Iki no Kura Sake Brewery has adopted for the first time a production method that produces a rich aroma, flavor, and a natural, gentle pink hue, resulting in a bottle with a high-quality, mellow “strawberry” taste. The result is a bottle with a rich aroma, flavor, and natural, gentle pink hue that gives the impression of fine, mellow “strawberry. It is endorsed by the chef of Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami.

Utilizing materials that would otherwise be discarded for a variety of reasons
We are particular about the botanicals we use for pickling. Unfortunately, the ingredients that have been discarded from Iki, which is said to be a “treasure trove of ingredients,” are effectively utilized as botanicals with the cooperation of local farmers and agricultural cooperatives.
Marriage with seafood and Japanese cuisine
Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami’s chef’s approval.
Based on shochu from Iki Island, the birthplace of barley shochu, this craft gin is made by soaking Iki botanicals and distilling them again. It goes well with sashimi and other seafood and Japanese food.
A bottle of fine and mellow “strawberry”.
We have increased the percentage of strawberries compared to our previous strawberry-based products, and adopted a process that is new to the Iki no Kura brewery. The result is a bottle with a rich aroma, flavor, and a natural, gentle pink hue, giving it a fine, mellow “strawberry” taste.
