ROKU GIN SAKURA COCKTAIL TOUR
Known in Japan as Sakura, the cherry blossom is a symbol deeply embedded in Japanese culture. Sakura flowers bloom for only a brief spell during spring and seeing these beautiful flowers in bloom has become a national obsession in both Japan and here in Washington DC.
Join us as we celebrate cherry blossom season through an immersive cocktail tour at Washington DC’s top cocktail bars. Visit each participating bar to see their intricate cherry blossom décor, and try a custom cocktail inspired by one of Roku Gin’s six unique Japanese botanicals.
