Ukiyo Spirits, the premium Japanese gin brand owned by Kirker Greer Spirits, has partnered with the Mr Fogg’s Collection to celebrate the height of summer with an exclusive Gin of the Month takeover. Running from 1–31 August, the collaboration invites guests to savour the delicate citrus and floral notes of Ukiyo Yuzu Gin through a bespoke cocktail menu served at Mr Fogg’s Gin Parlour in Covent Garden and Mr Fogg’s Gin Club in Soho.
Distilled from traditional Japanese rice and infused with bright yuzu, fragrant sakura flower, and crisp juniper, Ukiyo Yuzu Gin embodies the Japanese philosophy of ‘living in the moment’. The August menu features three signature cocktails and a classic Ukiyo Yuzu Gin & Tonic, each designed to showcase the gin’s elegant and refreshing profile:
-
Voyage to Chiba: A citrus-forward, floral creation blending Ukiyo Yuzu Gin with Akashi Tai Ginjo Yuzushu, lavender syrup, grapefruit, lemon, foamer bitters and Franklin & Sons Elderflower & Cucumber Tonic Water.
-
Yūgen Mist: A refreshing, herbal twist marrying the gin with Luxardo Bitter Bianco liqueur, basil syrup, lemon and mint foam.
-
The Pearl of the East: For those seeking a delicate, fruity finish, this serve combines Ukiyo Yuzu Gin with Akashi-Tai Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu, green tea & hibiscus liqueur, pear and lemon.
-
Ukiyo Yuzu G&T: A simple yet sophisticated serve highlighting the gin’s citrus-forward character with Franklin & Sons Indian Tonic Water.
This menu is highlighted in each venue’s ‘What’s On Tap’ Gin of the Month online listing, giving gin lovers across London a rare opportunity to explore Ukiyo’s craftsmanship at two of the city’s most distinctive gin destinations.
Inspired by centuries of Japanese distilling heritage, Ukiyo Spirits has earned global acclaim for its meticulous craft and innovative use of premium rice spirits and regional botanicals. Partnering with the Mr Fogg’s Collection, known for immersive storytelling and extensive gin libraries, creates a pairing that celebrates both heritage and adventure.
