Japanese GIN Aka Torii is a new craft gin infused with Japanese essence, made mainly from ingredients carefully selected from the local Saga Prefecture.
Using natural spring water from the Tara Mountains, the mellowness of the subsoil water purified over many years by the rich natural environment helps to produce the unique flavor of Aka Torii. By taking great care in all aspects from the ingredients to manufacturing, the company successfully created this delicious craft gin worthy of its namesake, the beloved Aka Torii path of the Yutoku Inari Shrine symbolic of the local town.
The Japanese pepper, seaweed, oyster shell, and wasabi leaf are said to impart the essence of Japanese “wa” (“harmony”) into the gin, with Mitsutake saying they worked hard to perfect the proportions through a long and vigorous testing process.
