As its name suggests, this plant produces pretty peach-colored flowers in spring, and its flower language is “I am intoxicated by the sight of you”...a flower language that seems to go hand in hand with alcohol.
Spring turmeric is called wild turmeric and is rich in minerals and essential oil components such as cineole, while autumn turmeric (turmeric) blooms in autumn and is known as a curry spice and nutritional drink.
The spring turmeric used is grown in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, and when cut, it has a soft, sweet, gentle aroma with a freshness reminiscent of eucalyptus or cypress.
This time, such spring turmeric is distilled by YASO Spirits to create a highly aromatic gin. You may be surprised to know that turmeric has such an aroma.
