Suntory ROKU is a chiseled Japanese craft gin built on six signature Japanese botanicals that distinguish it from traditional juniper-dominant Western spirits. The name "Roku" translates to "six," referencing the unique botanicals harvested at the peak of their respective seasons. Produced at the Liquor Atelier in Osaka and finalized at the legendary Yamazaki Distillery, ROKU is a structural study in floral elegance and tea-driven complexity.

The Technical Distinction

ROKU is defined by its "shun" philosophy—harvesting each ingredient at its peak season to capture its most expressive character.

  • The Signature Six: Includes Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea, Sansho pepper, and Yuzu peel.
  • Individual Distillation: Each of the six Japanese botanicals is distilled separately to preserve their delicate aromatic profiles.
  • Traditional Foundation: Combined with eight traditional gin botanicals, including juniper, coriander, and angelica, for a balanced finish.
  • Hexagonal Architecture: The distinctive bottle design features six sides, each depicting one of the signature Japanese botanicals.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Cherry blossom and green tea provide a floral, sweet aroma. Developing layers of complex citrus and traditional juniper emerge with time.

Palate: Medium-bodied and complex. A front of classic gin botanicals transitions into a mid-palate of Yuzu citrus, Sakura floral notes, and characteristic green tea.

Finish: Medium-long. A signature closing of crisp Yuzu citrus and a gentle, spicy resonance from Sansho pepper.

Strategic Positioning

ROKU sits alongside Ki No Bi as a benchmark of the Japanese craft gin movement. It serves as a softer, more aromatic alternative to London Dry styles, appealing to those who favor the tea-driven and citrus-forward profiles of Monkey 47 or Hendrick's.

"A structural masterpiece that defines the absolute peak of the Japanese seasonal gin movement."

Collector & Serving Note

Suntory ROKU is a high-conviction acquisition for home bars focused on artisanal Asian spirits. To honor the profound botanical integration, enjoy the "Roku Highball"—served with chilled premium tonic and a fresh slice of ginger to accentuate the Sansho pepper notes. Its aromatic depth also performs exceptionally in a Negroni or Martini. Pairs peerlessly with sushi, sashimi, tempura, and light Japanese cuisine.
