UKIYO Tokyo Dry | Japanese | Craft | Gin | Classic | Yuzu, Milan and Sakura | Distilled with 5 native Japanese botanicals | 40 Percent ABV | 70 cl

An interesting gin with a distinctive Japanese-inspired character. The combination of botanicals gives it a different appeal from more traditional gins, making it a good option for trying new cocktail recipes. The bottle also has an elegant appearance, making it suitable for entertaining or gifting. A nice choice for anyone who enjoys exploring different gin styles.

Really enjoyed this gin. The Yuzu citrus flavour gives it a fresh twist, while the floral notes are subtle and well balanced. Smooth, easy to drink, and perfect with tonic or in cocktails. Definitely one of the better craft gins I've tried.

I was first given UKIYO Tokyo Dry as a gift by someone who knows I like to try different craft gins, especially dry ones. I had tried Roku Japanese gin and liked it well enough so was eager to taste this. It makes a very pleasant, refreshing G&T. The Yuzu gives it a citrussy zing which I like in a gin, and it goes well with a wedge of pink grapefruit. I subsequently purchased another bottle - or two (it was on offer) and offered to a discerning friend who loved it. She inevitably used the empty bottle to put fairy lights in which look lovely in the turquoise glass. It is definitely the sort of bottle, like Hills & Harbour you might find hard to throw out.

Bought for a gift, daughter loved it and the bottle is really nice, so very happy , the gin is ok too

Decent price and nice to drink.

This is one of the cleanest tasting gins I have tried. In a market saturated with gimmicky gin this stands out as a ‘normal’ gin executed to an abnormally high standard. The bottle is rather striking too, looks like it will be space efficient for shipping but is still elegant

At £26 for a 700ml bottle (40% ABV), UKIYO Tokyo Dry Japanese Gin offers a refined and elegant take on a classic London dry style. Despite being unflavoured in the traditional sense, the careful balance of 11 botanicals — including five native to Japan — gives it a wonderfully subtle and aromatic profile. The flavour is smooth and crisp, without any harshness. It’s incredibly drinkable and well-suited to those who enjoy a clean, balanced gin that doesn’t overpower. Key botanicals like juniper, yuzu peel, and mikan peel lend citrus brightness, while sakura flower and leaf bring a delicate floral note. Sansho pepper adds a gentle warmth, complemented by more familiar ingredients like cardamom, lemon peel, and rosemary, which round things out beautifully. The presentation is just as impressive — the ombré blue bottle is visually striking with a reassuring weight that adds to the premium feel. It has a screw top lid which feels heavy in itself. I served it the classic way: over ice with tonic, lemon, and lime — and it worked perfectly. The citrus and floral notes came through without being over the top. A sophisticated gin that’s both stylish and smooth — a lovely addition to the shelf.

Tasty gin encased in a gorgeous bottle topped with classy lid.

Ottimo arrivato perfetto

Ein wirklich gelungener Gin, der sich angenehm von klassischen Gins unterscheidet. Besonders die japanischen Aromen kommen schön zur Geltung – Yuzu und Sakura verleihen ihm eine feine, frische und leicht florale Note, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. Sehr angenehm pur, aber auch hervorragend mit einem guten Tonic. Geschmacklich komplex, gleichzeitig aber schön ausgewogen und leicht zugänglich. Für mich eine tolle Kombination aus klassischem Gin und japanischer Handwerkskunst. Definitiv eine Empfehlung für alle, die gerne etwas Besonderes ausprobieren.

Besser als Gins in ähnlicher Preisklasse

Unbekannterweise am Black Friday wegen der tollen Flasche gekauft. Nicht viel erwartet, aber definitiv positiv überrascht worden! Die Geschmacksentwicklung ist gigantisch. Es macht Freude, wir sich der Gin-Geschmack vom ersten Nippen übers Schlucken bis hin zum Nachgeschmack komplex verändert. Fast zu schade zum Mischen mit Tonic. Neben Bombay Sapphire nun mein Lieblingsgin.

Das Design der Flasche ist schonmal eine Augenweide und der Geschmack auch unserer war perfekt nicht zu sprittig oder sonst was. Gemixt haben wir ihn mit Tonic
