Wa Bi Gin
Hombo Shuzo is a Japanese liquor company founded in 1872. It is located in the city of Kagoshima, on the island of Kyushu, which is well-respected in the Japanese spirits industry. This is because it produces spirits that are delicious and genuine using only the best ingredients and age-old production techniques.
Wa Bi Gin has a flavor profile that is both complex and exhilarating. The green tea and yuzu both give zesty notes, while the juniper berries contribute the traditional gin flavor. The combination of the other botanicals, such as lemon, bitter orange, cinnamon, ginger, shiso, and shell ginger, results in a gin that is both flavorful and complex.
Wa Bi Gin, like most of the gins on the list, is a versatile gin that goes well neat, on the rocks, and in mixed drinks. Due to its complex flavor profile, it is also a fantastic gin for cooking because it can give meals more depth and complexity. What's intriguing is that the moniker "Wa Bi" means "Japanese beauty" in Japanese.
