The story behind Roku
Japanese gin is built around a soft, precise base spirit and a set of botanicals that often includes yuzu, sansho pepper, shiso and green tea alongside the usual juniper. The style tends to drink clean and bright, with citrus and tea notes sitting lightly over the juniper rather than under it.
We keep Roku Gin 750mL and Roku Riesling 750mL on the shelf here in Commack, one to two bottles at a time. Ask at the counter and we will tell you what is in stock that day.

Which Roku is right for you?
The gin sits at 29.99 and the Riesling at 11.99, both for the 750mL bottle. We only bring in a bottle or two at a time, so stock moves and availability changes, and we would rather tell you honestly at the counter than have you drive over for nothing. Call ahead and we will check the shelf.
