I really love SLOE GIN, which is made by steeping sloe berries (Prunus spinosus) in gin, and I wanted to try recreating this flavor using only botanicals and berries that are readily available.

The base of the spirits is made using new buds of various conifers collected in the spring around mitosaya, and branches and leaves of Oguni cedar given to us by FIL in Minamioguni, Kumamoto.
Blueberries grown in Otaki and strawberries from Onjuku Daichi Farm are infused in coniferous spirits.
The combination of the refreshing green flavor, reminiscent of stepping into the forest, and the berry fruitiness was better than I expected.

The only complaint I have about Sloe Gin is that it's a bit too sweet.
At [BERRIES AND SPROUTS], we do not add any sugar so that you can fully enjoy the aroma. Instead, the sweetness is only the gentle sweetness of the berries, so you can use it straight or in a variety of cocktails.

Of course, you can add sweetener and enjoy it like a regular sloe gin.

I really like SLOE GIN, which is made by soaking sloe berries (spinosas peaches) in gin, and I wanted to try to create this flavor using only botanicals and berries that are readily available.
The base was a spirit made from various conifer sprouts collected in the spring around mitosaya and branches and leaves of Oguni cedar shared with us by FIL in Minami-Oguni, Kumamoto.
Blueberries grown in Otaki, strawberries from Oyado and Daichi farms were soaked in the conifer spirits.
The combination of the berry fruitiness with the refreshing green flavor, like stepping into a forest, turned out to be beyond our expectations. My only complaint about the sloe gin is that it is a little too sweet. We dared not to add sugar to make the aroma more enjoyable, and the sweetness is only the mild sweetness of the berries, so it can be used both straight and in a variety of cocktails.
Of course, you can also add sweetness and enjoy it like a typical sloe gin.
