GIN THROUGH JAPAN – Osaka Craft Gin Tasting

About this event
Welcome to Gin Through Japan – Osaka Craft Gin Tasting,
a small, relaxed tasting experience for people who want to explore Japanese craft gin through comparison and conversation.
This is not a lecture and not a loud bar crawl.
We taste several Japanese gins side by side, talk about what we notice, and enjoy how different approaches, regions, and botanicals shape flavor.
There are no right answers — just tasting, sharing impressions, and discovering together.

What we’ll do
Taste 5 Japanese craft gins side by side
Compare aromas, styles, and regional character
Talk casually about how Japanese gin differs from global traditions
Enjoy a calm, intimate setting focused on conversation

Who it’s for
This event is for people who enjoy thoughtful tasting rather than heavy drinking,
are curious about Japanese craft spirits and culture,
like small groups and good conversation,
and want an English-friendly experience in Osaka.
Beginners are welcome — curiosity matters more than knowledge.

Host

Founder of ShoGin.jp, organizer of the Osaka Gin Rally, and creator of the Uda Distillery project (in progress).
