A journey of harmony, crafted in Japan.
Under Hokkaidō’s clear light, the sea is never far. It shapes the wind, polishes stone, and guides the hand. Etsu Pacific Ocean Water Limited Edition 2025 is born of this landscape: a Japanese gin reduced to 45% ABV with Pacific water, composed as a moment of purity and balance. After the floral elegance of Etsu Sakura (and its geisha, a symbol of grace and omotenashi), this edition explores the mineral dimension of maritime Japan, another facet of the same harmony.
A symbol at the heart of the bottle
Resting at the base of each bottle is a hand-blown glass koi, captured in a deep ocean blue. Not ornament but talisman, the koi speaks to perseverance, equilibrium, and beauty in motion. It echoes the quiet patience of the sea and the precision of the artisan, two discreet forces that have shaped ETSU Gin from the beginning.
Hokkaidō offers distinct seasons, a brisk climate, and a nature that invites restraint. In this setting, reduction with Pacific water brings a rare mineral tension, a sense of clarity that runs from the first aromas through the finish. Nothing overstated; everything measured, breathing, precise.
The bottle is conceived as an object in its own right: restrained lines, deep ocean tones, a hand-made koi that lends each piece a slight singularity, the signature of the human hand. Together, they tell of mastery and understatement, the ETSU Gin way.
A continuous story, a new chapter
The narrative doesn’t pause; it changes light. From the geisha of Etsu Sakura, an emblem of welcome and poise, to the koi of Pacific Ocean Water, one soul flows through both: the search for harmony, translated into flavor, texture, and the right emotion at the right time.
