Rooting ourselves deeply in the earth, placing our hopes and dreams in the infinite potential of Keyaki Gin.

The things that are only possible at a small distillery
The things that are only possible with a small still
A single distillation produces a mere 150 liters
We distill each botanical separately
We use only the heart of each distillation
We make final decisions not by numbers but with our senses of taste and smell
Against the clock, waiting for that perfect moment
We want to deliver to you the ultimate craft gin
We will never compromise
That is our promise
We places these thoughts and hopes in every bottle of Keyaki Gin
The famous, fully organically farmed seri (water dropwort) grown by Miura-san.
We use everything from the leaves to the roots from the especially fragrant spring harvest.
Seri harvested in the morning we distill that very same day.
The clean, cool herbal notes are what make Keyaki stand out from the crowd.
We source or yuzu from three regions of Miyagi Prefecture.
Our freeze-and-drip method allows us to access the full, rich aromas of the yuzu fruit.
Plays a large part in making the Keyaki gin & tonic so refreshing.
We use Monou tea leaves, famous for being the most northernly grown tea in Japan.
Subtle aromas and a faint bitterness help to pull together and tighten Keyaki’s flavors.
We use the skins from Akiu Winery’s Merlot grapes.
Sweet, grape-like aromas help bring other flavors and aromas into harmony and give depth and body to Keyaki.
The juniper berry comes from conifers that grow widely across Europe. It takes ten long years before a tree produces berries. The berries measure roughly 1cm in diameter and have herbal and spicy aromas. Juniper berries produce the unique gin like flavors and provide the backbone on which other flavors are layered.
The seeds of the coriander plant taste differently from the stems and the leaves. Citrus-like aromas of lemon and orange zest help give balance to Keyaki’s flavor profile.
Rich aromas of yuzu spread across one’s palate before the strong flavors of juniper berry arrive in tandem and in balance with the clean flavor of seri. The coriander seed and grape skins provide the bass note, enveloping and bringing together the brighter flavors before the green tea leaves add a dash of bitterness to bring the whole symphony to a tight finish.
