Roku Japanese Gin Noryo Tea Edition - 70cl
Roku Japanese Gin Noryo Tea Edition is a celebrated limited-edition summer release from Suntory's House of Roku — the second bottling in the celebrated Seasonal Festival Collection following the Sakura Bloom Edition. The expression celebrates the Japanese cultural tradition of Noryo (涼) — the art of cooling down during summer by seeking tranquil moments near water — by elevating two of Roku's signature summer botanicals: Sencha tea and Gyokuro green tea, harvested at their seasonal peak.
Roku Gin is crafted at Suntory's celebrated Liquor Atelier distillery in Osaka, Japan — combining eight traditional gin botanicals with six distinctive Japanese botanicals (sakura flower, sakura leaf, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, sansho pepper, and yuzu peel), each harvested at their seasonal peak per the Japanese philosophy of shun. The Noryo Tea Edition arrives in a distinctive limited-edition bottle featuring outlined tea-leaf illustrations, washi-paper label, and botanicals embossed directly into the glass.
From The House of Suntory in Osaka, Japan — a celebrated heritage Japanese distiller with over a century of craft heritage.
A definitive limited-edition Japanese summer gin — perfect for refined gin & tonics, elegant tea-forward cocktails, contemporary Japanese-inspired cocktail programmes, or the signature Noryo Fizz. Serve in a tall glass over clear ice with quality tonic, garnished with shiso leaf or ginger for a summer-perfect Japanese G&T.
