Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin with added Gold Leaf (700ml)

An oriental take on the German classic 'Goldwasser', this visually stunning gin comes infused with gold leaf sourced from Kyoto's 'Horikin' company. Established in the early 18th century, Horikin developed an edible gold leaf in 1985. The concept of adding it to gin reflects a Japanese tradition whereby gold leaf is added to Sake at times of celebration, like New Year, weddings and festivals.

The gin itself is Kyoto's original dry and is created with Japanese botanicals such as yellow yuzu from the north of Kyoto Prefecture, hinoki wood chips (Japanese cypress), bamboo, gyokuro tea from the Uji region and green sanshō (Japanese peppercorn) berries. This special edition is further enhanced with a label design created in collaboration with Kira Karacho, part of the Karacho karakami atelier founded in Kyoto in 1624.
