Named after the 135° East meridian that crosses the city of Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture, this gin represents a passion for exploring what lies beyond the borders.
Inspired by Japan`s great Taisho period, this gin honors a time when Eastern culture merged with Western culture.
By combining new flavors that reinforce and complement each other, Kimio Yonezawa has a new one created an innovative and unconventional type of gin: the `Hyogo Dry Gin`.

After carefully examining the flavor profile of over 50 different botanicals, Master Distiller & Blender Kimio Yonezawa decided to combine 3 traditional botanicals from Europe with 5 unique Japanese botanicals - all sourced from small local producers and the best specialists in Japan, distilled separately to preserve character and finally blended together.
The essence of each Japanese plant is obtained through a vacuum distillation process captured, a technique used in the luxury perfume industry. 135° East preserves the pure olfactory notes and subtleties of its aromas.

Nose: Powerful, floral, notes of citrus.
Flavour: Balanced, silky, notes of citrus, bitter and floral notes , Sansho pepper.
Finish: Long-lasting, warm, peppery.
