Nakano BC Craft Gin Kozue (700 ml)

Nakano BC Craft Gin Kozue is born in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan — a land embraced by mountains, forests, and the Pacific breeze. It comes from Nakano BC Distillery, a house known for its mastery in sake, umeshu (plum wine), and craft spirits, carrying more than 70 years of brewing and distilling heritage.

“Kozue” (梢) means “tree treetop” in Japanese — a fitting name for a gin that celebrates the fragrance of Japan’s mountain forests. The heart of this gin is distilled from local juniper berries, Japanese cypress (Hinoki), bamboo leaves, and mandarin peel (Mikan) — botanicals that mirror the pure air and serenity of Wakayama’s sacred peaks.

Each small batch is crafted by hand in traditional copper stills, blending modern precision with the soul of Japanese craftsmanship. The result is a gin that captures the calm, clarity, and quiet power of nature itself — a harmony between forest aroma and citrus brightness.
