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

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.

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

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

It's a very interesting gin. It's rice (sake) based so you get a very subtle hint of sake, which I really enjoy. I've tried it in a Gin & Tonic and dry martini and even sips it on the rock. It's a very versatile gin.

Decent price and nice to drink.

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.

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

I got this as a Christmas present for my mum. I haven’t tried it myself, but both my parents said it was really smooth and had a nice, unique flavour. They seemed genuinely impressed. The bottle design is what stood out to me — it looks high-end and made the gift feel a lot more special. Great choice if you’re looking for something that feels premium without going overboard.

Ottimo arrivato perfetto

Ein wahnsinnig toller Gin, passend zum Sommer, nur zu Empfehlen für alle Gin Liebhaber 🥰

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.

War ein Geschenk.

Ganz gut im Geschmack aber in der Preiskategorie gibt es bessere. Kaufen trotzdem weiterhin gerne Japanischen Gin.
