Japanese gin, Etsu, meaning "pleasure," is an ode to finesse, offering a precious version of this drink that originated in the Netherlands in the 17th century. Here, juniper berries give way to a sophisticated blend of herbs and citrus, creating a distinctive character.

Gin Etsu is crafted on the islands of Hokkaido and Honshu, adhering to the purest Japanese traditions. Inspired by an ancestral recipe, it incorporates various ingredients, herbs, spices, and citrus fruits, some of which can only be found in Asia, such as yuzu.

This results in a 100% Japanese exotic fragrance, with the meticulous attention to detail and high standards that the country is known for, honoring the preparation of this time-honored beverage.
