ENIGMA is a Spirits Mate limited edition series from Ethical Spirits' own distillery, Tokyo Riverside Distillery.
Enjoy this ethical Japanese gin with a unique aroma made from shiitake mushroom stems.

BASE

We use ginjo "Kasutori Shochu" from Tobiraizumi Honpo, the oldest shochu brewer in Tohoku, founded in 1487. We selected this shochu, which has an old-fashioned aroma of pineapple, a flavor reminiscent of banana and caramel, and a sour and fragrant taste, perfect for shiitake mushrooms.

BOTANICAL

We only use the stems of log-grown shiitake mushrooms, which are grown on top of a mountain in Shimanto Town, Kochi Prefecture, where you can see the sea of ​​clouds. When making dried shiitake mushrooms, the stems are removed, but sometimes they are discarded. By using fresh mushrooms immediately and distilling them, the aroma absorbed from the shii tree spreads throughout the gin, resulting in a one-of-a-kind gin with a strong, fragrant aroma unique to shiitake mushrooms.

*Sediment or floating particles may appear due to precipitation of ingredients caused by temperature changes, etc., but this does not affect the quality of the product.

Recommended way to drink

We recommend "Bloody Sam" made by mixing it with tomato juice and lemon. This recipe changes the base of the famous cocktail "Bloody Mary" from vodka to gin. The fragrant aroma of shiitake mushrooms transforms the cocktail into a refreshing yet delicious cold soup.

Shiitake mushrooms, hops, strawberry shortcake...? Enjoy Tokyo Riverside Distillery's exclusive gin every month, sent only to members!
