KEY INFORMATION

• A highly regarded Kagoshima shochu producer since 1883, Komasa Jyozos first foray into craft gin last year produced a bright, citrus-centric spirit featuring the worlds smallest mandarin, the Sakurajima komikan, grown on the eponymous volcanic island. Its second gin, created from a base of rice shochu, champions another quintessential Japanese ingredient hojicha, or roasted green tea and it is sensational.\n\nWhile tea is a common botanical in Japanese gin, roasted green tea is an ingenious twist, as the heating process eliminates the caffeine bitterness to create a tea thats deeply aromatic, more mellow and less astringent. This is a perfect foil for the sharp juniper berries while the addition of Japanese cypress enhances the forest aroma of hojicha. Add a little bit of tonic water to really open up the warm, uniquely Japanese bouquet.
