Named after the 135° East meridian that crosses Akashi City in the Hyogo prefecture, inspired by Japan’s important Taisho period, this unexpected gin honors a time when Eastern culture merged with Western culture.

135° East gin offers a powerful floral aroma over scents of citrus fruits. It comes with a silky, balanced feel in the mouth, combining citrus, bitter and floral notes, while sansho pepper gives it a warm, peppery finish. Crowned with a secret ingredient: a splash of distilled Akashi-Tai’s Junmai sake that mellows the heat of the sansho pepper.
