Let us introduce Tokachi Plain Distillery, which makes craft gin in Tokachi, a region known for its agriculture, using mainly locally grown produce such as raspberries, adzuki beans, and mushrooms.

The area’s first craft gin distillery opened in 2023 on the grounds of Tokachi Hills, and it currently offers three gins under the name AKATOKI.

📌The first batch featured a gold label and used 24 botanicals, including Tokachi-grown adzuki beans and mushrooms, creating layers of rich, savory flavors.🎵

📌The pink-label gin uses raspberries grown in Obihiro, giving it a gentle, sweet fruit character and a naturally pale pink hue from the fruit itself.🎵

📌The blue-label gin uses butterfly pea and lavish amounts of fresh bergamot peel to deliver a bright citrus aroma. Mixed with tonic water it turns pink, and with soda it becomes a pale blue, making it a visually delightful gin as well.🎵
The deep, clear blue extracted from butterfly pea flowers is inspired by the gemstone tanzanite.

Each bottle of these three carefully crafted gins is made with attention; try comparing them side by side, and pair them with meat dishes, which go particularly well with these gins.🤗

They are sold at the Tokachi Hills shop, Roadside Station Otofuke, Garden Spa Tokachigawa Onsen, Roadside Station Kamishihoro, Roadside Station Shihoro Onsen, and other locations (please note they may be sold out).
