Bright yuzu with subtle sansho spice — lingering green tea notes creating the cooling sensation that Noryo promises, refreshing and tranquil like a Japanese summer evening by the river
Expert Review
8/10Suntory's second limited Roku edition — celebrating Noryo, the Japanese tradition of seeking coolness in summer. Sencha for grassy freshness and Gyokuro for deep umami richness. Yuzu brightness and sansho spice. Two peak-flavour Japanese teas elevated to define a gin. Summer tranquility by the water.
