iwai gin botanicals
meyer lemon
Meyer lemons, sourced directly from Kumamoto, bring a subtle and sweet touch to the Iwai Gin. The warm orange-like flavor adds body to gin, creating a balanced and flavorful experience.
japanese plum (sumomo)
Our delicious Japanese plums are hand-picked in the valley below Nozawa Onsen by our partner Yuji at his Happy Fruits Farm. The juicy qualities of his produce contribute to the overall freshness and slightly sour taste of the Iwai Gin.
sakura leaf (cherry blossom)
Famous throughout Japan, sakura leaves are synonymous with the scent of spring. The intense aroma and delicate taste will remind you of sweet Japanese sakura mochi.
