Japanese Craft Gin The Hakuto Gin Matsui Gin 700 ml

Matsui Shuzo's The Hakuto Gin is a Japanese craft gin from the Kurayoshi Distillery in Tottori, built on a botanical bill that pairs traditional gin aromatics — juniper, coriander, citrus peel — with Hakuto, a Japanese white peach. The result leans floral and fruity rather than piney, with a gentle sweetness from the peach balancing the juniper base and a smooth, clean finish. At 700ml, it's a distinctive addition for a gin drinker who already has a London Dry on the shelf and wants something lighter and more aromatic. Works well both in a simple highball and in cocktails that don't need an assertively dry gin.

How to drink The Hakuto Gin

Try it as a gin and tonic with a light, dry tonic so the peach and florals stay in front, or build a simple gin highball with soda. It's soft enough to sip neat over one large cube if you want to taste the peach on its own.
