Roku combines six Japanese botanicals with a range of eight more ‘traditional’ gin botanicals. It has a six-sided bottle, and Roku means six in Japanese. We weren’t familiar with some of the Japanese botanicals at work before trying Roku. It does have quite a citrus hit to it. Those more traditional gin botanicals seemed to dominate at first, but it then got more delicate the more we tried it.

These sets typically include a bottle of Roku gin and one or more glasses. Some special gift sets feature a variety of Japanese botanicals, allowing the recipient to experiment with the flavours and aromas of the gin. It’s a well-known brand, so Roku Gin gift sets are available at various retailers. We really like this gin bottle and gift bag set: Palate: Complex, multi-layered, yet harmonious flavour of various botanicals. Traditional gin taste in the base, plus characteristic Japanese botanical notes with yuzu as the top note. Smooth and silky texture. Drinking this gin gives you a sense of calmness and peace – like a walk in the Japanese botanical gardens.
