Ukiyo Spirits celebrate the purity and precision of traditional Japanese distilling. Produced on the island of Kyushu from a base of distilled rice spirit, the range draws inspiration from the Japanese concept of ukiyo, meaning “floating world” – a philosophy centred on living in the moment and appreciating life’s fleeting beauty. Combining traditional craftsmanship with carefully selected botanicals, Ukiyo creates elegant spirits that reflect the culture, flavours and natural beauty of Japan.

Ukiyo Yuzu Citrus Gin showcases one of Japan’s most treasured fruits: yuzu. Resembling a lemon but prized for its intensely aromatic character, yuzu brings a unique balance of citrus brightness, gentle bitterness and herbal complexity. Distilled in small pot stills, this gin combines yuzu with mikan peel, juniper, coriander and Sansho pepper, alongside subtle influences of matcha tea, lavender and pine. The result is a vibrant, contemporary gin that balances classic structure with unmistakably Japanese character.

Bright and aromatic on the nose, it opens with zesty yuzu, sweet mandarin and fresh juniper. The palate is crisp and refreshing, layered with tart citrus, bitter orange and delicate spice from Sansho pepper. Hints of pine, lavender and green tea add depth and complexity, leading to a clean, elegant finish with lingering citrus freshness.

Perfect served with premium tonic and a slice of grapefruit or orange, Ukiyo Yuzu Citrus Gin also excels in citrus-forward cocktails.
