Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan's four main islands, is a surprising region for gin enthusiasts. Renowned for its stunning landscapes and harsh winters, it offers a unique terroir that influences gin production. The purity of the water, sourced from Hokkaido's alpine mountains, contributes to the creation of spirits with great finesse. The region's distilleries favour the use of local ingredients such as wild juniper berries, aromatic herbs, and Japanese citrus fruits like yuzu, providing a distinctive and authentic tasting experience. The island's variety of microclimates also allows for the cultivation of a wide range of botanicals, enriching the aromatic profile of the gins produced. For both novice and experienced gin lovers, Hokkaido is a fascinating and emerging destination in the world of distillation.
