My neighborhood liquor store is hosting many spirit tastings lately. This time was Japanese-inspired: sake, plum wine, and this gin. It's a unique style where pine and pepper flavors dominate. My exploration of gin is quite rewarding due to the global diversity in botanicals.

Kozue Gin is among the new wave of Japanese gins and is notable for being the first to incorporate Japanese pine needles into its botanical selection. Fujishiro Distillery in Wakayama produced this gin, with an initial small domestic batch of only 100 bottles.
