"Ji no Sugar Island Kyoto Laotang Gin" is a limited edition product, which is used the same as the classic product "Ji Zhimei" It is formulated with 11 kinds of plant ingredients and brown sugar from Yonaguni Island (The westernmost island in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan).
"Old Tom" style gin originated in the 18th century. At that time, in order to balance the rough feeling of some gins, people added sugar to make it easier to drink. This style is located between Dutch gin and London dry gin. The name "Old Tom" is believed to come from the tomcat pattern commonly used on bar signs or barrels at the time. As distillation techniques improved in the 19th century, allowing people to obtain lighter liquors, the popularity of Lao Tang gin gradually declined, but there have been signs of a revival in recent years.
"Sugar Island of the Season KyotoOld Tom" In addition to using the same 11 plant ingredients as "Beauty of the Season", Gin is also specially made with brown sugar from Yonaguni Island. Brown sugar is richer in minerals than white sugar and contains a variety of aroma components from sugar cane, so it not only brings sweetness but also a complex flavor.
In addition, "KIRA KARACHO (Mica Karacho)", a traditional Chinese paper shop inherited from the Edo period, is responsible for supervising the design and uses dark frosted glass as the packaging, further continuing the "beauty of the season" world view.
