June's limited edition is Butterfly Pea gin.
Its Japanese name is "butterfly bean," and as the name suggests, it is a legume with butterfly-like flowers.
This butterfly pea, which is also used in herbal teas, is a botanical with a blue pigment.
In this case, we used this natural pigment to create a gin that is as blue as the clear sky.
The Butterfly Pea has been a limited edition item every year since YASO began.
This year, the third year of the event, the base gin has a twist.
By increasing some of the ingredients and changing the timing of adding the basket, we also focused on the aroma and taste of the base gin.
It has a deep flavor that is perfect for the beautiful blue color.
And another characteristic of butterfly peas is that their pigmentation changes from purple to pink when acidic substances are added.
After enjoying the beautiful blue color with soda or water, please try a gin and tonic. You will enjoy the way this blue color magically changes.
