The online sake shop KURAND has launched lottery sales for "TROPICAL GIN Sanka," a new craft gin made with seven naturally derived botanicals centered around handpicked tropical fruits. Applications opened on June 3, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
About TROPICAL GIN Sanka
TROPICAL GIN Sanka is a craft gin made with a total of seven types of naturally derived botanicals, featuring tropical fruits such as passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and kiwifruit. The gin contains no artificial flavorings, colorings, or preservatives, and no added sugar. Each ingredient is distilled separately to preserve the natural acidity of the produce, and passion fruit tea is then infused during the finishing process.
The Appeal of TROPICAL GIN Sanka
The standout feature of TROPICAL GIN Sanka is the fully expressed flavor and aroma of its tropical fruit botanicals. Independent distillation of each ingredient locks in the natural acidity of the fruits, while the infusion of passion fruit tea brings out a deep sweet-and-sour character with a vibrant aroma. Spices including juniper berries and cinnamon add layers of complexity to the flavor, contributing to a long, pleasant finish.
