Echigo Yakuso Representative Director Kazushi Tsukada comments
　Thank you very much for the total of five awards at the Tokyo Whiskey & Spirits Competition 2024 (TWSC).
We are very honored to receive this recognition at Japan's only trade fair, following the awards we have received outside of Japan.
　Our company started making gin because we wanted to make more people aware of gin and to boost the gin industry. Therefore, rather than wanting people to like YASO GIN, we hope that YASO GIN will be "one of the first bottles to introduce people to gin.
　There are many great gins in Japan and abroad, so you can choose any of them. Anyway, our happiness and goal is to make people drink gin and fall in love with it. We will continue to create "one bottle" that catches the eye of many people.
