This is "KIBOU BLUE," a craft gin from "Shakotan Spirits," a distillery located in Shakotan-cho, western Hokkaido, known for its beautiful scenery overlooking the Sea of Japan. It was created with the wish that "the sea of Shakotan will always remain beautiful and unchanged." "KIBOU" is a distilled spirit created with the spirit of the Ainu people who called the "Akaezomatsu" (Japanese fir) the "Goddess of the Forest." It is based on the Akaezomatsu, which has a deep orange scent, and is made with botanicals from Hokkaido and Shakotan-cho. 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. With the fresh, invigorating scent of Akazumatsu (Japanese white pine) as the top note, and Hokkaido-Shakotan-produced botanicals adding color, this flavor evokes the summer sea of Shakotan. The juniper berry's structure is dignified, evoking a sense of the unbroken connection between the sea and the forest. In addition to the smooth texture and sweetness, the spiciness of the Huckleberry and the slight bitterness of the Ezo Mandarin orange tighten up the overall flavor. 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 Shakotan, Hokkaido, surrounded by abundant nature. It is a distilled spirit that utilizes the plant resources of Shakotan, 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.
