For our first gin, we focused on rare botanicals from Kobe City in order to express the Kobe style (=Kobe-like “flavor”). ▽Brand site https://www.e-hakutsuru.com/pages/shirakaze ■ Commitment to raw materials In order to express the Kobe style (=Kobe-like “flavor”), we used rare botanicals grown in Kobe City, other than juniper berries. “KOBE HERBAL GIN Hakufu #01” uses strawberries, mint, and chamomile, and “KOBE HERBAL GIN Hakufu #02” uses blue perilla, red perilla, and basil. In addition, we use underground water from the Rokko Mountains, which is used for brewing sake.

This is a feature. “Same #02” uses Kobe-grown basil, blue perilla, and red perilla, and has a refreshing, well-balanced flavor reminiscent of the wind blowing in the mountains of Kobe where the morning sun shines, with a refreshing aftertaste of green notes.
