ETSU Handcrafted Gin (Hokkaido) (1x70cl)

ETSU is made in Hokkaido, and Japanese gin generally goes for a cleaner, more restrained profile than the big London Dry style — less of a juniper punch, more room for the softer botanicals. If you like a Japanese-style highball, this slots in easily.

The bottle looks the part on a shelf, so it works as a client gift or a bring-along to someone's place. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, no minimum order.

Tasting notes

Japanese gin in this style usually shows soft citrus, light floral notes and a gentle juniper backbone, with a clean, dry finish. Typically best with plenty of ice and soda in a tall glass, or with a good tonic and a slice of lemon. Keep the mix simple so the botanicals show.
