■ About World Gin Awards
The "World Gin Awards" is the gin-specific division of the "World Drinks Awards," an international alcoholic beverage competition held annually in the UK. Numerous brands from around the world are entered, and judged in categories based on gin style, such as "London Dry" and "Contemporary."
A panel of renowned experts, journalists, and buyers conducts strict blind tastings, with brand names concealed, to comprehensively and thoroughly evaluate flavor, aroma, and balance. The award labels are widely recognized as a testament to global quality, and winning bottles directly contribute to gaining trust in the global market.

This time, naturadistill Kawauchi Village Distillery received a country-specific (Japan) Bronze Medal in the Signature Botanical category, which focuses on gins crafted with particular botanicals or flavors.
