Etsu Sakura Limited Edition: a celebration of Japanese tradition

24 September 2024

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a unique limited edition: Etsu Sakura, an artisanal gin that pays homage to Japan’s famous Hanami tradition. This exceptional gin captures the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms, a profound symbol of Japanese culture and the transient nature of life.

A tribute to Hanami

Hanami, which literally means “flower viewing,” is an ancient tradition where the Japanese gather to admire the cherry blossoms in spring. More than just a floral spectacle, it is a time for reflection, sharing, and celebrating the fleeting beauty of nature. Etsu Sakura captures this contemplative spirit in every bottle, allowing gin lovers to experience this age-old tradition.

An exceptional artisanal gin

Distilled at the Asahikawa distillery on Hokkaido’s northern island, Etsu Sakura stands out for its perfect balance of botanicals and the purity of water sourced from the Taisetsu Mountains. Infused with sakura petals, this delicate gin reveals elegant floral notes and perfectly complements zesty citrus fruits such as yuzu and green bitter orange. The result is a fresh, refined gin, ideal for enjoying in cocktails or with tonic.

A unique and artisanal bottle
Etsu Sakura Limited Edition

Beyond its exquisite flavors, Etsu Sakura is also distinguished by its bottle, a true work of art. The Geisha, the emblem of Etsu, embodies both elegance and Japanese tradition. Each bottle, made from borosilicate glass, contains a hand-blown geisha, making each piece absolutely unique. This artisanal sculpture, delicately integrated, symbolizes Japan’s cultural heritage, making this limited edition a rare and precious collector’s item. Additionally, each bottle is presented in a high-quality gift box with silver markings, highlighting the exclusive and refined nature of this limited edition.

Limited availability

With only 5,000 bottles available worldwide, Etsu Sakura is a rare edition not to be missed. Whether you are a gin enthusiast or a collector, this limited edition offers a unique opportunity to discover a creation that celebrates Japanese heritage and craftsmanship.
