Commenting, Bruce Walker, founder and distiller of Purist Gin said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be collaborating with Mikaku to celebrate the Japan Week Festival. I traveled to Japan for Judo competitions when I was younger and immersed myself in their culture, that was when I first discovered Yuzu. When it came to designing and distilling my very own gin, I knew for sure that Yuzu had to be a key botanical in it.”
Dario Bernardi from Mikaku added: “We’re delighted to welcome Purist Gin to our menu, it’s clearly inspired from Bruce’s travels in Japan and compliments the Yuzu Sake in Yuzu Ranburu perfectly. It’s a great match for our £1 Ramen offer, marking Japan Week Festival in style.”
