Etsu on the screens
The good news doesn’t stop there. Etsu The Original was also featured on the UK national channel Channel 4, during the “Sunday Brunch” show. Olivier Ward, a member of the IWSC Spirits Judging Committee, showcased our award-winning gin alongside other winners on this popular show. This appearance provided exceptional visibility for Etsu The Original, reaching a wide audience and sparking significant interest.
An exceptional gin
Etsu The Original is distilled at the Asahikawa distillery, located on the island of Hokkaido. Using carefully selected botanicals such as Japanese yuzu, juniper berries, licorice, angelica, coriander, and bitter orange peel, our gin stands out for its balance and freshness. The pure water from Mount Taisetsu also plays a crucial role in the distillation process, contributing to the unrivaled smoothness and quality of Etsu The Original.
We would like to thank all our partners, customers, and fans for their continued support. This recognition is as much a result of our passion as it is of your trust in our products. We invite you to celebrate this award with us by enjoying a Gin & Tonic with Etsu The Original, the Japanese gin that embodies excellence and craftsmanship.
