Suntory Roku Gin Review
This Japanese gin is clean and citrusy, with just a seasoning of vegetal pepper notes. The bottle looks amazing, and what's inside tastes just as good. If you don’t like juniper, this is a great introduction to gin, with Japanese botanicals like yuzu and sakura flower instead taking center stage. At $30, this gin is an absolute steal.
