Hidden Curiosities Aranami Strength Gin
Sale price €58,95
Aranami 荒波 – meaning “Raging Waves” in Japanese, is our powerful, albeit super silky smooth navy strength gin. At 59% ABV and bursting with flavour from 20 botanicals, (7 of which are specifically sourced from Japan), it really packs a punch just like the dragon emerging out of the tempestuous waters featured on the back of the bottle.
The bottle may appear demure with elegant cherry blossom scattered on the label, but this gin is certainly no delicate flower. Overflowing with citrus, pepper and floral notes with a beautifully long finish, this Aranami gin is sure to leave a lasting impression on your palate.
Style: Navy Strength Gin
ABV: 59%
Size: 500ml
Tasting notes:
Waves of bright citrus from Japanese yuzu, tingling spice from lemony sansho pepper, followed by mouthwatering marmalade notes from kabosu and kumquat. Sweetness from creamy Tahitian vanilla, Japanese sour plum and fragrant – almost candied-like – Furano Lavender (from Hokkaido, Japan). Rounded off with delicate herbaceous undertones from shiso leaf, softened and blended harmoniously together with salted cherry blossom.
How to Serve:
Try Aranami Navy Strength Gin neat first, then with ice, followed by a generous splash of premium Indian tonic to open it up and ‘release the dragon’ with a surge of mighty flavours. Jenny, the creator, recommends trying this in a Breakfast Martini with a dollop of Seville orange marmalade, or her favourite, a navy strength Salty Negroni.
Garnish:
There are three exceptional ways to garnish your Aranami Strength gin and tonic. Follow the sweet and sour route with sliced pear and a sprinkling of dried barberries, or why not try Japanese sour plum, strawberry, or golden kiwi. Be daring with a sensory experience of shiso leaf dusted with crushed sansho pepper, or stay simple and make the most of the gin’s flavour profile with a zesty citrus twist.

Hidden Curiosities Story
Hidden Curiosities Gin was created by Cravat Club director Jenny. After spending 5 years in Japan refining her discerning palate, followed by a year of extensive research sampling over 100 different craft gins, she was determined to dedicate her time and passion to develop a unique recipe with a very distinctive character. The balance of aromatic spices from 5 different peppercorns and green cardamom, paired with strong citrus flavours from yuzu and pink grapefruit, and supported by a whole orchestra of highly delectable botanicals, formed a deeply complex and multifaceted artisan gin.
Working very closely with Silent Pool Distillers in the Surrey Hills, who carried the right expertise for this exciting new project, Jenny was able to perfect and fine-tune her recipe in order to produce the specific result she had in mind. Using their magnificent hand-built 350 litre copper still, charismatically powered by a wood fired steam boiler, her first batch of Hidden Curiosities gin was born in July 2017.
Since then, Hidden Curiosities gin has certainly evoked curiosity in the gin world featuring on the menu at Michelin Star restaurants, available in top London bars and gin palaces, and now stocked in the famous London department store, Harrods in Knightsbridge.
Hidden Curiosities and the newer, well-acclaimed Aranami Strength, have both won a multitude of Awards, and have consistently received overwhelmingly positive reviews from renowned gin bloggers.
Jenny says, “I truly believe this gin is something very special indeed; the flavours transform depending on how you serve and garnish your Hidden Curiosities gin. It is extremely palatable neat, or by adding a splash of tonic will release more of the hidden botanicals residing in the background.
“My recommended garnish for the perfect gin & tonic would be pink peppercorns and green cardamom to intensify the spices; perfect for a winter gin, or if you have a penchant for pepperiness like myself! For more of a refreshing clean citrus taste, add a twist of pink grapefruit or yuzu peel. Or for something completely different, try strawberries and cracked black pepper.”
In the following week I’ll give you all a little in sight on how we work and how we establish our conclusion, score & serve.
Today we shed a first light on how we work, our test round starts every Monday or Tuesday at 9 a.m. after I have brought my daughter to school. Perhaps many readers are now frowning: “at 9 o’clock in the morning?”
“Yes, yes! It is very important that you make a tasting note with a pure taste and smell and when is our taste and smell the purest?
Yes! “In the morning after brushing your teeth and on an empty stomach!
This tasting note is of course the basis, we will continue to work on this. We will taste again at least twice at different hours and days in the following week.
So today we started our test round with the new gin of Hidden Curiosities the Aranami Navy Strength gin.
Our first tasting notes exists out of key aromas and impressions.
Here they where ,
• Sweet, oily & round
• Juniper!
• Fruity ( grapefruit and lemon)
