All botanicals are macerated and distilled separately, only then are they blended. The process of fusion is called Konwa, the creation and assembly of harmony. The labels come from one of the oldest woodblock printing companies in Japan and show floral motifs from the Edo period. The product is manufactured in the Kyoto Distillery Company.

The distillery is Japan’s first gin distillery in Minami-Ku, south of Kyoto. Their gin is also unique: Kinobi means beauty of the seasons and is inspired by Japanese tradition. Botanicals include yellow yuzu, hinoki wood, bamboo, goyokuro tea and green sansho berries.
