About Us
A Spirit of Kanazawa
We create gin that complements and enhances food.
Our distillery is located in Ono, Kanazawa, Japan, an area with a fermentation culture spanning more than 400 years and where rich nature and traditional culture coexist.
We use carefully selected ingredients such as underground water from Mt. Hakusan, which contains high-quality minerals, fragrant woods native to Japan, and oranges and lemons grown in Japan with reduced pesticides. We carefully carry out each process and pay close attention to the smallest details when making our sake.
The gin we make is not an artistic approach, but rather a "simply delicious" gin that anyone can enjoy. We aim to make a gin that brings comfort and happiness to everyone involved.
Greeting
Greetings from the Founder
Toshi Nakagawa
My father was a chef at a Western restaurant, and the sight of adults sitting around the table eating, drinking, and laughing cheerfully is one of my earliest memories.
Although he had previously worked in a field unrelated to food, at the age of 40 he felt a strong desire to explore the world of brewing alcohol to enhance the food experience, and so he switched to the craft beer industry, learning the process from product development to production, marketing, and sales.
Through an old friend who started a company in Kanazawa, I met a variety of creators, including top chefs, farmers, sake brewers, and aroma distillers, and my imagination expanded. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to distill gin, which allows for a high degree of freedom in the selection of ingredients and production methods.
Our goal is to create a scene where people gather around the table to eat, drink, and laugh cheerfully. In Kanazawa, where food, culture, nature, and spirituality live on, we will continue to create spirits that enhance the flavor of food.
