NUMBER EIGHT DISTILLERY

What We Serve, and Why

Craft gin infused with the aroma of eight fresh botanicals.

Here is the English translation for your detailed explanation of the eight botanicals used in NUMBER EIGHT GIN:

< Eight Botanicals >
Juniper Berries
Yerba Buena (Cuban Mint)
Lemon Verbena
Kanagawa Mikan (Mandarin Orange)
Pesticide-free Lemon
Fresh Hops
Coffee Beans
Avocado Seeds

These botanicals are thoughtfully selected from ingredients regularly used in HUGE restaurants or sourced locally from Kanagawa Prefecture—each with its own story.

▼ Yerba Buena (Cuban Mint)
This is the mint generously used in HUGE's signature mojitos served at our restaurants. While spearmint and peppermint are more commonly known, yerba buena is the traditional choice in Cuba, the birthplace of the mojito. We are particular about using this authentic mint to deliver the true flavor of the cocktail.

▼ Kanagawa Mikan (Mandarin Orange)
These sweet, high-sugar-content mandarins are featured in cocktails and desserts across our restaurants. We work closely with trusted local farmers to incorporate Kanagawa-grown mikans into our botanical selection.

▼ Fresh Hops (Domestic)
Our gin uses fresh domestic hops sourced from the adjoining brewery, NUMBER NINE BREWERY, located within the same facility as our distillery at QUAYS pacific grill. This direct collaboration ensures unparalleled freshness and quality.

▼ Coffee Beans
The beans are roasted at HAMMERHEAD ROASTERY, our in-house coffee roastery also located inside QUAYS pacific grill. The same beans used in our restaurant’s offerings are distilled, ensuring high-quality aroma and flavor in every drop.

▼ Avocado Seeds
Avocado seeds—not the fruit? That’s right. At our five Mexican restaurants, avocados are used in abundance for popular dishes like guacamole. Rather than discarding the pits, we repurpose them as a unique and sustainable botanical in our gin. This reflects our identity as a restaurant-driven distillery, turning food waste into flavor while embracing eco-conscious practices.
