The Kaikyō Distillery 135° EAST Hyōgo Dry Gin 42% Vol. 0,7l

A Japanese Artisan Gin

Perfectly Unexpected

Named after the 135° East meridian that crosses Akashi City in the Hyogo prefecture, our gin represents our passion for discovering what lies beyond borders. Inspired by Japan’s important Taisho period, this unexpected gin honours a time when Eastern culture merged with Western culture.

Marrying authentic Japanese botanicals with London Dry Gin botanicals, our spirit lets two cultures interweave energetically. Add to this a splash of sake distillate and you have a truly artisanal recipe, inspired by the Yonezawa family’s rich history of sake production.
