Sakurao Classic is a gin from the Sakurao distillery, founded by the Chugoku Jozo group in Sakurao, Hiroshima. It is made with nine botanicals from Hiroshima, including navel orange, summer sweet orange, yuzu, daidai, hinoki, green tea, shiso, ginger and lemon, plus five others such as juniper berries and coriander seeds. Local cherry blossom petals are also used. It is a dry gin that highlights citrus freshness. Lemon notes come first, followed by ginger and green tea, finishing with juniper. It suits an Oriental-style gin and tonic with a neutral tonic.
