Komasa Sakurajima Komikan Gin

I had this for the first time at a house party (not the crazy wild party but like gathering as a group and drinking, eating and talking) in Kyoto.

Totally worth it! I don’t like to drink hard liquor straight, but I tasted this straight as a sip to test it out and was pleasantly surprised at the smoothness. The infused mandarin and herbal flavor are very apparent and it is very citrus forward. These are definitely perfect to make cocktails with like Gin & Tonic.

Where to buy: I bought it in Japan but I believe you can also buy it in the United States both online and at retail shops like Total Wine.
