Etsu Hokkaido Gin

Etsu comes from the Asahikawa distillery on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, where the name means 'enjoyment' – a philosophy running through the gin's entire character. Bitter orange peel gives the gin a distinct Asian twist on the classic London Dry style, shaped by Hokkaido's cold, clean climate. It's Japanese precision meeting the stillness of a northern winter landscape.

Etsu Hokkaido Gin – The Japanese Craft Gin

The pride of the Asahikawa Distillery – Etsu means “pleasure” in Japanese. Asahikawa is located on the northern island of Hokkaido and uses bitter orange peel, licorice root, and angelica as botanicals. We recommend Fever‑Tree Tonic for this outstanding Japanese gin.
From Japan comes a wonderfully smooth gin with a floral aroma and notes of citrus – especially yuzu, which plays a major role in Japanese cuisine. Hints of fresh pepper, berries, and green tea follow, before the finish brings more pepper and vibrant yuzu fruit. A truly delightful gin.

About Etsu Hokkaido Gin

Hokkaido's harsh climate and pristine nature are central to Etsu's identity, and the distillery emphasises local, northern Japanese ingredients rather than the more southern, tropical botanicals often seen in Japanese gin.

History & Background

The Asahikawa distillery sits on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island, known for cold winters and a different, more rugged nature than the rest of the country, which has shaped the distillery's choice of botanicals and style.

Production & Style

Bitter orange peel, coriander and angelica are distilled alongside juniper, a combination that gives the gin a bitter-spiced edge rather than the floral character often found in Japanese gin from more southern distilleries.

Signature Style

Bitter, Spiced, Nordic-Japanese
Bitter citrus peel meets spiced coriander and angelica in a robust, northern Japanese style that stands apart from the more floral southern Japanese gins.
