Description
Etsu, which means “pleasure” in Japanese, is the name of an excellent gin from Japan, produced on the island of Hokkaido according to a carefully guarded recipe. Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan’s main islands, is best known for its natural beauty with volcanoes, hot springs and ski resorts.
Etsu Handcrafted Gin is not only impressive in terms of taste, but also visually thanks to its presentation in a round bottle with a blue cap and a detailed label featuring a geisha in blue and gold. This gin is made with a selection of Asian botanicals, including pepper, tea, citrus fruits and berries, all of which come from Hokkaido Prefecture.
A key feature of the gin is the use of yuzu, a yellow citrus fruit that shapes the characteristic taste. Yuzu, known for its sour, aromatic flesh and the essential oils in its peel, is used both in the perfume industry and in fine Japanese cuisine, particularly because of its more complex aroma compared to conventional lemons.
Through the careful selection and combination of traditional Japanese ingredients with the artisanal art of distillation, Etsu Handcrafted Gin offers a unique taste experience that connoisseurs and aficionados alike will appreciate.
