Their story

Awayuki gin comes from Awayuki Shuzo in Nara, Japan, and takes its name from the Awayuki strawberry, a pale pink variety grown in Nara Prefecture. Strawberries are one of Nara's signature crops, and this gin puts them at the center.

The fruit comes from a single farm in the prefecture, which ties each bottle closely to a specific place.

How it's made

The gin is distilled from a 100% grain base. Pink and white Awayuki, White Pearl and Kotoka strawberries go in alongside classic gin botanicals: juniper, angelica and coriander. It is bottled at 44% ABV.

Why we carry them

We think Awayuki is a fun way to taste Nara's strawberry season in a glass. Try it with soda or tonic so the fruit stays front and center.
