Tokyo’s cocktail culture is evoked with Ukiyo Tokyo Dry Gin, a new small batch, aromatic dry-style gin.
Crafted from native rice, Ukiyo Tokyo Dry utilises five distinct Japanese botanicals: yuzu peel, mikan peel, sakura flower, sakura leaf, and sansho pepper.
These unique ingredients are augmented by seven traditional gin botanicals, specifically juniper, pepper, coriander, angelica root, lemon peel, cardamom and rosemary.
Clean and crisp, it’s the latest addition to Ukiyo Spirits’ gin line, joining Ukiyo Blossom Gin (a floral dry gin) and Ukiyo Yuzu (citrus dry gin). The range also includes Ukiyo Japanese vodka.
We think it’s a must-add to your bar cart…

Ukiyo Tokyo Dry Gin tasting notes
Bottled at 40% ABV, this dry gin offers the aromas of citrus fruits carried on a sea breeze. Take a sip and there’s an explosion of zesty flavours, including characteristic yuzu and peppermint oil, with a backdrop of cardamom and spice.
The gin has a luxurious, creamy mouthfeel.
The base spirit, derived from native rice grown in surrounding regions, is credited with this smooth finish. It’s distilled in Chiba, east of Tokyo, in traditional copper pot stills.
The packaging is equally delightful; a bewitching two-colour gradated bottle ostensibly mirroring the mountains and oceans of Japan.
A Taste of Japan’s Cocktail Culture
Not only is this a fine sipping gin, it’s a strong cocktail contender.
Partner with Indian tonic water, and a garnish of lemon, for a Japanese take on the classic Gin & Tonic. Alternatively use it to make Japan’s popular Gin Sonicl, a twist on the G&T that combines equal parts gin, tonic water, and club soda. This mix reduces sweetness and bitterness, allowing the gin’s unique botanicals to shine.
The Dalmore has added a new permanent whisky to its core Principal Collection, a 17 year old Highland single malt that deepens the distillery’s long-standing exploration of Sherry cask maturation. The Dalmore Aged 17 Years is positioned as an evolution of the house style, building on techniques that have defined the brand for decades. The…
