Recipes
Roku gin is best served in a Japanese gin and tonic. Attention, respect and honor transform this serve into a ritual reminiscent of the spirit of
Omotenashi. Fill your glass to the brim with ice, adding six matchstick slices of ginger to complement the gin's distinctive topnotes of yuzu and
sakura (cherry blossom). Pour in your favorite tonic, and stir to chill. Add a measure of Roku, and stir to balance the elements of each season.

Each bottle of ROKU holds one hundred years of dreams
The Torii Shoten Store, the predecessor of Suntory, opened in 1899 as a result of the dream of young Shinjiro Torii, who at the age of 20 wanted to "create original Japanese Spirits the whole world can enjoy, uniquely made from Japan's nature and her people."
Shinjiro overcame numerous hardships to make his dream a reality, creating wine, whisky and brandy, and launching the first Suntory gin in 1936. Shinjiro and his successors continued to work hard on building a deep knowledge of distilling alcohol. The creation and perfection of ROKU are based on more than 100 years of distilling expertise.
"Someday, spirits produced in Japan will be loved all over the world." Shinjiro Torii
ROKU is the result of an history of over a century of dreams.

Not the best
Not knowing this is gin, it can be mistaken for a vodka. Nothing special to be honest

Good, but much cheaper elsewhere
Sadly Ocado is here more expensive than the other shops.

High quality gin
Very smooth and very good depth of flavours. Nice neat over ice or with a light tonic and lemon. Priced quite reasonably.

Amazing gin 5 stars
I'm a gin lover and this gin is bursting with flavours. Love the Japanese tea, aroma, herbs and spices. Smooth, quite strong. Lovely with loads of ice, a slice of dried fruit and a light-fever tree. A result when its £26, on offer!
