Roku is a harmonious blend of six botanicals that perfectly capture the essence of Japan’s four seasons.
In accordance with the Japanese tradition of Shun, each botanical is harvested at the peak of its season to extract the best flavor, then distilled separately to maintain individual characteristics. For instance, the delicate scent of the Sakura flower is drawn out in stainless pot stills through a vacuum distillation, whereas the deep flavor of Yuzu is achieved by distillation in copper pot stills.
Together with eight more traditional botanicals, the six carefully crafted extracts are blended by Japanese artisans to achieve Roku’s complex, yet harmonious flavor.
As a final flourish, Roku is presented in a hexagonal bottle with its key botanicals embossed on each if its six sides. The label is made of traditional washi paper and adorned with the Japanese kanji for ‘six’ in bold calligraphic strokes as a tribute to the Japanese craftsmanship distilled into every drop.
