Mars Shinshu Distillery is one of the highest in Japan, at an altitude of 798 meters. The water used comes from Mount Komagatake and is naturally filtered through layers of granite. The gin incorporates typically Japanese botanicals such as sencha tea, yuzu, shiso, and sansho (Japanese pepper) and is distilled in pot stills specifically designed for gin production, using a process that separates the botanicals into groups based on their boiling points for better flavor extraction.
