Kyoto power and precision
Ki No Bi Sei takes the exquisite Japanese botanicals of the original and amplifies everything to 54.5%. Navy Strength with Japanese precision — yuzu, green tea, sansho pepper all intensified. Magnificent.

Perhaps too intense
While I adore the standard Ki No Bi, this Navy Strength at 54.5% overwhelms the delicate Japanese botanicals somewhat. The heat from the high ABV competes with the subtlety that makes Ki No Bi special. Beautiful but fierce.

Intense but elegant
Navy Strength at 54.5% can be brash but Ki No Bi Sei maintains remarkable composure. The Japanese botanicals gain intensity without losing their delicate balance. A truly impressive achievement.

Extraordinary Japanese spirit
Ki No Bi Sei proves that Japanese gin can excel at Navy Strength. At 54.5% the botanical complexity is staggering — layers of citrus, spice, tea, and herbs unfold with each sip. Worth every penny.

Kyoto at full throttle
Everything that makes Ki No Bi special is turned up to eleven at 54.5%. The sansho pepper brings heat, the yuzu brings brightness, and the green tea brings umami depth. A powerful Japanese Navy Strength.

Japanese Navy Strength mastery
At 54.5% this Navy Strength expression from Kyoto is phenomenal. The Japanese botanicals are amplified but never aggressive — there is still that characteristic Ki No Bi elegance. A masterclass in high-proof gin.

The world's finest Navy Strength
Ki No Bi Sei at 54.5% is Navy Strength gin perfected. Japanese botanicals — yuzu, hinoki, gyokuro — at full power yet impossibly refined. This is the pinnacle of what Navy Strength gin can be. Nothing else comes close.
