Both are harvested at the peak of freshness. The use of sakura offers a different profile and a subtle change to the regular Santory gin. This edition presents delicate floral and slightly salty notes with hints of sweetness.<\/p>\n<p>Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition is smooth and light and ideal for a good G and T. Choose a neutral tonic or the subtlety of the gin will be masked. Garnish with a fresh red cherry or a cherry blossom if you are lucky enough to find some; failing that then a simple twist of lemon. It\u2019s best served well chilled with plenty of ice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesco.com\/\">Find this and other fine spirits at Tesco here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Japanese Craft Gin.
