Setouchi Japanese Craft Gin: A Citrus-Forward Expression at Izakaya Juraku

Setouchi Japanese Craft Gin is distilled with a lineup of Japanese botanicals built around the Seto Inland Sea, an area known for its citrus groves and coastal climate.

The Story Behind Setouchi Japanese Craft Gin

Setouchi Gin draws on the Seto Inland Sea's citrus-growing tradition, using locally sourced ingredients that give it a bright, aromatic, citrus-and-herbal profile.

Setouchi Japanese Craft Gin's Distillation and Botanicals

• Citrus: yuzu, amanatsu, and Setouchi lemons, for a zesty, vibrant character
• Sansho pepper: a touch of Japanese sansho for spice and a light tingle on the palate
• Traditional herbs and classic gin botanicals, rounding out the balance

How We Use Setouchi Gin at Izakaya Juraku

Setouchi Gin is the base of our House Sansho & Japanese Citrus Gin & Tonic:

• Setouchi Japanese Craft Gin as the citrus-forward base
• Homemade tonic, made in-house from Japanese citrus peels sourced from Kankitsu Labo
• Sansho pepper for spice
• A citrus blend of amanatsu, yuzu, iyokan, kawachi bankan, and Setouchi lemon

It comes out zesty, a little spicy, and smooth.
