Botanicals

Expertly crafted from Japanese botanicals handpicked at the peak of freshness, Budō Gin harmoniously blends the bright, zesty citrus of Yuzu, the gentle sweetness of Sencha tea, and the delicate, earthy spice and vibrant floral notes of Sakura.

柚子 Yuzu

The vibrant essence of Yuzu. This unique Japanese winter citrus brings a bright, tart flavour reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit, adding a refreshing zest and floral aroma. With its perfect balance and complexity, Yuzu turns each sip into a moment of mindfulness, embodying the spirit of Budō.

桜 Sakura Bark

Sakura bark is a botanical that adds earthy depth and complexity. It brings a balanced flavour, combining slight bitterness with subtle sweetness, along with notes of woodiness and spice. Renowned for its aromatic qualities, it enhances the fragrance of the gin and contributes to a harmonious profile, reflecting the principles of Budō.

煎茶 Sencha

Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea, infuses gin with its fresh, grassy notes and subtle umami richness. It adds complexity without overwhelming the spirit, contributing a refreshing, herbaceous quality and vibrant character that beautifully embodies the essence of Budō.
