Description
Yatsu Boshi Citrus Gin is a striking Japanese craft gin that places three rare Kumamoto citruses at the heart of its character: Aoyuzu (green yuzu), Shiranui (sumo mandarin), and Banpeiyu. These precious botanicals, seldom seen outside Japan, deliver a bright, zesty profile that balances elegant refinement with vibrant citrus intensity.

Distilled in Kumamoto at 43% ABV, this gin showcases Japanese precision in every sip. Juniper remains present but takes a supporting role, allowing the citrus botanicals to shine alongside subtle herbal notes that add depth without overwhelming the palate.
Nose: Bright citrus peel dominates, with lime, yuzu, and sudachi delivering a fresh, invigorating aroma that immediately signals the gin’s botanical focus.
Palate: Bursts with lemongrass and tangerine, complemented by a pleasant oily texture from juniper and a green, herbaceous undertone that adds complexity to the juicy sweetness.
Finish: Long and clean, with lingering citrus oils and a bone-dry quality that makes it remarkably versatile in cocktails.
This gin excels in a serene, bone-dry Martini with a citrus twist, works beautifully in highball-style serves with soda and ice, and pairs naturally with dry Indian tonic where the citrus and herbal notes can stand proudly. It also shines in a White Negroni or any gin-forward cocktail that celebrates bright, clean flavours.
A thoughtful gift for gin enthusiasts who appreciate Japanese craft spirits and botanical complexity beyond the ordinary.
