Botanical Japanese Gins

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hamada Syuzou Crafts the High-Quality Japanese 'Sasshu' Gin

— July 5, 2023 — Lifestyle
Hamada Syuzou introduces 'Sasshu,' a new premium gin made from a Japanese botanical blend, koji mould, and sweet potato shochu. The gin will be primarily distributed across the UK, France, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US.

Staying firmly grounded in their heritage, the distillery adheres to time-honored Japanese distilling methods that have been meticulously preserved since the company's debut in the year 1868.

The use of koji, a key ingredient in Japanese fermentation, delivers a luscious fruity essence to the gin, intensifying its flavor profile. This delightful characteristic is fused with a thoughtfully curated selection of Japanese botanicals, resulting in a deletectable liquid that is perfect for bartenders, mixologists, and cocktail-makers.

'Sasshu' is 45% ABV and comes packaged in a 700ml bottle. It will debut at Stand F40 at the Japan Pavilion of Imbibe Live.
