Etsu

From the distant East, where tradition meets innovation, Etsu is born, an excellence of Japanese distillation that has managed to conquer the world with its unique spirit. We are on the magical island of Hokkaido, a land known for its unspoiled nature and centuries-old culture, where Etsu takes shape amid breathtaking landscapes and a climate that enhances its authenticity.
Etsu is not a wine, but a gin that stands out for its aromatic freshness, a true sensory journey among the local botanicals that make up its soul. Its secret lies in the skillful use of typical Japanese ingredients: the delicate and fragrant yuzu, green tea with refined notes, and a blend of spices and flowers that evoke Japanese tradition. Every sip of Etsu is an experience that transports you to a world of balance and harmony, where modernity merges with the ancient culture of the Land of the Rising Sun.
The Etsu gin is a masterpiece of artisanal craftsmanship, a distillate that best expresses the Japanese production philosophy, dedicated to the pursuit of perfection through simplicity and attention to detail. Its aromatic profile is an intertwining of citrus and floral notes, which open up on a soft and persistent palate, making it the ideal companion for sophisticated cocktails or to be enjoyed pure.
On Vino45, let yourself be seduced by the unique nuances of Etsu and discover a gin that tells a story of tradition, culture, and innovation, directly from the heart of Japan. An invitation to explore new food and wine horizons, where taste becomes a bridge between distant worlds.
