The term ukiyo refers to a state of mind emphasising living in the moment, detached from the difficulties of life.
Ukiyo Japanese spirits was born in Kagoshima in the shadow of the Sakurajima volcano, and are made from a base of locally grown rice that is masterfully distilled into traditional spirits.
Our Blossom Gin is born from a base of locally grown barley that is distilled into a traditional shochu spirit. We redistill our shochu with juniper, regional citrus, cherry blossom and native botanicals, always exercising restraint in the pursuit of clarity and perfection. The fruits of this endeavour are born out in the delicate blossom aromas that emulate those found in the mountains and coastline surrounding our home in Kagoshima.
