Hexagonal by design - “roku” (六) is the number six in Japanese. It refers to the six additional Japanese botanicals in the gin. It’s characteristic of a Japanese spirit (in my opinion) in that there are a good lot of flavors, but no one note takes over anything else, and it’s absolutely not heavy; rather, it’s quite subtle and delicate.
I bought a bottle of Roku Gin because the pretty bottle it came in and would look very good on top of my bar shelf. I later discovered the gin was quite good.
I really like Gin Roku. I learned some Japanese when I was in elementary school and I know why they chose the name Roku. Because it means the number 6 in Japanese and they chose the name because of the 6 botanicals that are native to Japan. And that’s also why it comes in that hexagonal shaped bottle. It’s definitely a unique spirit. The Suntory company also makes their own brands of Whiskey and Vodka.
Roku's been one of my favorite gins lately. It seems to mix well with just about everything, and it's even pretty nice neat or with just a bit of water or ice.
@@tungbui3948 A good tonic water for a gin and tonic or a ginger beer (with or without lime) for a gin buck are some of my favorite highballs with it. (Kind of unfair though, as those are some of my favorite gin drinks in general.) I think that it makes an interesting negroni too. If you like it, try playing with the garnishes and/or bitters, some interesting changes in flavors from Roku's botanicals and some new herbs, spices, and fruits that you've playing with.
Soft and gentle, was what first came to me in it's taste. In a martini, it's so subtle that you might not think that it has alcohol in it. Very nice in a martini. Here in the states, it's quite affordable. Goes great with a mild cigar. Well worth a try. Nice review Bobby...
The ratio tonic to gin was like 10:1, that may have played a role on not finding it punchy! It is not a punchy gin, but that ratio cannot really give you a real taste of the gin!
I picked up some roku last week, and i have been really enjoying it. I found this video looking for pairing options and i have come to like your videos. I have been a fan of gin for a long time. And i can really see this leap to my top spot. Then again i tend to really like Japanese flavors.
If you are still searchong for pairing options for roku i would recommend giving royal bliss tonic a go. Its pretty light and in my opinion the perfect combination for roku.
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 I know it's been a year since this comment but I drink Roku with fresh ginger root slices and light tonic. Absolutely my favorite gin.
@@ng8173 wow, I just bought a bottle of Roku gin and so I decided to watch this video again and read the comments. Thanks for the advice guys, I will definitely try this!
Ras Elimelech Thank you so much for you lovely comment! I’m so glad you’re entertained! Don’t forget to check out my other channel, Bald Man Talking 😊👍
I just recently bought a bottle of this, and haven't made up my mind yet on whether I like it or not. I found it to be very floral. I really like my gin to be Juniper forward, but you almost don't taste it in this offering. Not bad overall though, just different, in a good way. Very smooth, and refreshing...
The Roku gin bottle caught my eye a few years ago in the liquor store. Bought it and it’s become my favorite gin, so smooth, great by itself or in a cocktail. I highly recommend!!
This took me some time to appreciate. It came off very peppery for a very long time. I got a third down the bottle and it didn't change. I gave it a break and after some time I'm coming back enjoying it's flavor much more. Everything hits subtle and the layers peel back over time. I love it. Not my regular gin, but I'll have a hard time not keeping it stocked.
Japan has a lot of interesting gins! Hinata, Kozue, Komasa Hojicha, Ki No Bi, Benizakura 9148 I have yet to try any of them! I want to try all of them!
@@CodeProvider cool!! I'll take your req and try to find a bottle of Komasa Hojicha next, their website said it got wood in it, which sounds fascinating. The Benizakura 9148 i found online was so expensive! lol
I might have missed it in the video but i'll say i't anyways. Roku means 6 in japanese (aka the six sides of the bottle). Great review and i will definetly try this one! Cheers from Sweden.
Hi! You helped me buy my first gin! I bought Roku and Etsu gins (and also a big bottle of Beefeater for parties). I don't think that you've reviewed Etsu (another Japanese gin) gin, but I recommend it! I'm really glad to have both but I think I like Etsu better, and they are similarly priced.
Sencha and gyokuro are different green tea types. Sencha is an everyday tea and gyokuro is generally about the highest grade you can get in Japanese green teas.
No Nonsense Gin Reviews I wouldn’t call it superior 😂😂😂 I just like to get to know what I like - hence why I discovered your channel since I discovered I like gin. 👍😜
Finally had the opportunity to sample this tonight neat, rocks, with tonic, and in a cocktail. I disagree with you in that I think this is a wonderful gin.
Roku is a really wonderful gin. I have tried it in a G&T and a Buck (my go to cocktails) which were quite delightful, but as said this is a more subtle gin and therefore beautiful straight. I’m always on the lookout for a good sipping gin and Roku is one of my favorites for that. The Asian botanicals are the key I believe. With a beautiful earthy flavor that had a little burn but nothing unpleasant by any means. It is a unique gin experience and one I highly recommend.
Had a Roku highball at a Japanese restaurant in New York six or eight months ago. Great stuff and a really nice way to enjoy this gin. Excellent review. Love the channel.
Just ordered another bottle on line then noticed it was called 'Select Edition' on the label. Apparently in 2017 it was sold as a travel retail exclusive and has more emphasis on the Sakura. It was cheaper than the standard, same ABV...keen to taste this and see if any real difference.
This one is very smooth, but complex; I love it. I know that you said in another vid that you never drink gin neat, but, if any, then maybe give this one a try.
Gin is quite exy in Aus, even the local makes. Roku hit the spot in both taste and price, excellent value. My benchmark so far is London No3 but nearly double the price, not complaining. Thanks for the great reviews, spot on and Cheers.
No Nonsense Gin Reviews if you in northern Nevada Frey ranch in Fallon in heard is good. I know Reno has a lot of distillery’s. High country gin is one of my favorites out of the depot.
I'm trying it neat right now for the first time, and I think it should be experienced that way. The pepper really comes out in the finish and tickles the sides of the tongue. There are some light floral notes exotic citrus. I really like it, to be honest and I'd put that with my gins that I would make a very dry martini with. Actually - next up will be the saketini which seems ideal for this. I love a gin and tonic, but I don't measure my gins by how good they are with tonic... if anything, I'd relegate the cheaper gins to a G&T, but that's me. LOL I'm going to find you speaking Plymouth, my family's from there, I bet it'll give me a giggle.
Shut the fuck up lmao. Neat gin and dry martinis are awful and you know it. You love the idea of liking those things but I’m reality they just burn and taste bad.
Wow, I enjoyed reading your description. Agree on using cheaper guns for G&Ts! What are some other gintini type gins you recommend? I come from a family of non drinkers so I am always introduced to brands based on commercial presence, but did work in a bar where the Singapore Sling was the big seller so I got to enjoy a few different brands. Curious for underrated type of sippers.
Wow thanks RUclips for recommend this gin rewive. It is definitely one of my favorite gins I got from my birthday. I love the smell and the taste you can get the yuzu plum .
Just tracked down this older video -- I picked up some Roku a few hours ago without first watching your review -- glad you didn't hate it. It smells very nice, a bit floral to my nose, but haven't tasted yet. Cheers.
@@nononsensegindrinking5152 A lovely gin. I agree with you that it doesn't exactly "knock your socks off" with anything too exotic, but it is a nice gin. I'd be very happy to purchase this again. A very mild gin, if that makes any sense, sort of "soft and light." Overall, a keeper!
If it is “light and airy” then it matches the view (or stereotype) that Japanese things are more subtle. This is the case when those of us who are fans of incense know to expect from Japanese incense (compared to Indian or Chinese punchy strong incenses). Less “oriental” but definitely Japanese
I really love the taste but I wonder why everytime I drink the Roku gin, even for just 2 shots max, I get a bit of a sore throat the next day. It doesnt happen with my usual Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire.
I bought this stuff last night. I was hoping for a more, I guess "exotic" taste but I was not disappointed. 30 pounds is 47 and change in CAD and I paid 46. I'm willing to spend that much some times when I'm feeling fancy. 😄
Can't seem to see if you have, but have you tried the 135° East Hyogo gin yet? It's meant to be extremely good but I just haven't taken the plunge yet.
Thoughts on Edinburgh seaside gin? Also, I’ve been crushing cinnamon bark and several cardamom pods with a few cloves and letting the mixture marinate in a neutral tasting gin.....mate give it a go, absolutely mustard 👌🏽
@john goody my go too if you want to splurge a little is monkey 47. It's great on the rocks and super smooth. Roku is great for a refreshing drink. So bright and lively. The McQueen is a bit more hardy. It's is perfect for g&t it lightness it up a bit.
I am a new gin drinker lol (was a beer-vodka), I have been introudced to this via a German guy, on Xmas day and I can't stop drinking it.....here in Indonesia in a local bar including all duties and costs considering high import duties and a Muslim country it's £40 p/bottle which I think is very reasonable.....enjoying your reviews.
Hi, from your experience...do you know any gin that is similar to Inverroche (from Cape Town). I simply love that gin but unable to source it in Australia.
My boss bought this for me as a Christmas present. Probably my favourite gin to date! And found myself adding far less tonic than usual. If you’re looking for further afield, check out Bivrost Arctic Gin from Norway. I picked one up when I was in Tromso in February. The bottle itself is a masterpiece and you’ll get that cork pop you’re looking for!
You should probably avoid using your American accent as well, unless you are a little more specific as to which part of America you are referring to. As with the UK there are a lot of different accents in the USA.

Have you considered placing a rating in the description?
Hey Adam,
I did think of that but there were so many 9’s and 10’s that i thought it would become a little pointless! 😂
If it is “light and airy” then it matches the view (or stereotype) that Japanese things are more subtle. This is the case when those of us who are fans of incense know to expect from Japanese incense (compared to Indian or Chinese punchy strong incenses). Less “oriental” but definitely Japanese
I love Roku and Hendricks (all of their collection gins too) anything you could recommend?
I've only had this once and was underwhelmed. I haven't had much gin at the time, so perhaps I would feel differently about it now
Scapegrace vs Roku, who wins?
I really love the taste but I wonder why everytime I drink the Roku gin, even for just 2 shots max, I get a bit of a sore throat the next day. It doesnt happen with my usual Tanqueray or Bombay Sapphire.

Roku is definitely all over at bevmo and total wine.
And also try The Bar Gin
Drink it straight on rocks. Too much tonic
It’s a little bit much on its own. It’s very floral and flavorful. Imo it needs a little bit cut on it.
Hi, from your experience...do you know any gin that is similar to Inverroche (from Cape Town). I simply love that gin but unable to source it in Australia.
Do you ever do tastings without tonic?
The 'perfect serve' suggestion is to add 6 very thin, evenly cut ginger slices! Crucial step to take it to the next level! It's a must :)
My boss bought this for me as a Christmas present. Probably my favourite gin to date! And found myself adding far less tonic than usual.
If you’re looking for further afield, check out Bivrost Arctic Gin from Norway. I picked one up when I was in Tromso in February. The bottle itself is a masterpiece and you’ll get that cork pop you’re looking for!
