[Shakotan Spirit] Hokkaido Shakotan Craft Gin "KIBOU (Fire Sail)" 500ml

---

This is "KIBOU," a craft gin from "Shakotan Spirits," a distillery located in Shakotan-cho, western Hokkaido, known for its beautiful scenery overlooking the Sea of Japan. "KIBOU" is a distilled spirit created with Hokkaido-grown, Shakotan-cho-sourced botanicals, based on the deep orange-scented Akazumatsu (Japanese red fir) tree, which the Ainu people called the "Goddess of the Forest." Shakotan Gin, which creates "fire sake" that ignites people's souls and gives them courage and hope. The beautiful packaging, designed with that idea in mind, is also a highlight. In addition to the aroma of juniper berries and fresh hops, the verdant and refreshing scent of Akazumatsu pine, reminiscent of a lush and vibrant forest, evokes a sense of nostalgia. The rich and complex flavor is created by the abundant botanicals from Shakotan, including the mellow mouthfeel and subtle sweetness of Kitakobushi, while the spiciness of Ezo Yamamo and the slight bitterness of Ezo Mikan tighten the overall flavor. *There may be some oil residue left over from the distillation process. It may become cloudy due to temperature changes, but this does not affect the quality. If you want to savor the botanical aroma, enjoy it at room temperature. If you want to experience a crisp and sharp botanical flavor, we recommend enjoying it chilled. This craft gin is made with a focus on botanicals from Shari, Hokkaido, surrounded by abundant nature. It is a distilled spirit that utilizes the plant resources of Shari, nurtured by the vast land and rich sea, and aims to spread gin culture to the world.

Distilled spirits, which are also known as "fire liquor," are created by using fire to remove unnecessary impurities, resulting in a pure and deep flavor. The Saton Peninsula was formed approximately 2 million years ago by volcanic activity, and "fire" has a strong relationship with Saton and is involved in the lives of its people, such as the "Tengu no Hinawari" festival, the largest festival held every July. Saton Gin, which extracts the vibrant botanicals of the earth using "fire" as a medium, ignites the soul with the powerful life force of the earth and sets sail towards the world and the future, with the wind in its sails.
