The Ethical Spirits

Starring
the hidden gem.

We know that things which are not appreciated "now" have infinite possibilities.

For example, gin produced with Sake kasu will have much richer fragrance than those using neutral spirits.

Another gin produced with cacao husks has as much profound fragrance as cacao beans itself.

As you see, these ingredients should not be discarded but rather shrine at the center of the stage.

There are many hidden gems in this world.

Thus, we are intending to find their potentials and create something you have never experienced.

Our Philosophy

  • 1.Nothing is Meaningless

    Even things on the vere of being discarded or people that may have difference could be the "hidden gem" of talent if viewed from a different perspective.
    By examining meanings, values, perceptions, and approaches to consumption from all angles, we can fairly accept everything; everything has significance.

  • 2.Dig the New Tasty

    Hoping for a world where being "ethical" isn't the sole measure of value.
    We believe that everything delicious and delightful should be considered ethical.
    As we strive for this belief to become the norm in our lives and the standard in society, we aim beyond "ethical" towards a future yet unseen.

  • 3.Beyond the Ethical

    What we're seeking isn't just a new craft gin.
    It's a flavor of "deliciousness" that we haven't yet experienced in this world.
    Tastes that were unknown just a few years ago have the power to intriguingly transform our lives.
    We are committed to constantly exploring and pursuing these undiscovered flavors.

Our Distilleries

The Ethical Spirits' distillery is a place where light is shed on underutilized materials from every angle to bring out their "Hidden gem".
Specializing in ethical production and consumption, it transforms ‘costs’ of supposed waste materials like sake kasu into ‘value’, creating a new cycle of regeneration.

The "Tokyo Riverside Distillery," established in 2021 as the third urban distillery in Tokyo.
In the building where the scent of juniper berries rises, there is an official store on the first floor and a Bar & Dining “Stage” where you can enjoy gin with food on the second floor.
It has become a hub of circulation where we, the makers, deliver directly to our consumers.

Planned to be constructed in Tsukuba, Ibaraki prefecture as the second distillery of The Ethical Spirits. Repurposing the gymnasium of the abandoned Sakuaoka Elementary School. In addition to distilling gin, we also plan to manufacture the "WoodSpirits", which will be the world's first* to commercialize and sell "wooden sake" by a private business operator.

*World's first: It will be world’s first to commercialize products utilizing a technology developed by the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute to enzymatically saccharify and ferment fibers in wood.
