Suntory Global Spirits has partnered with Gebr. Heinemann to create a high-profile activation to support the launch of The House of Suntory\u2019s Roku Sakura Bloom Edition gin.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The eye-catching pop-up, which covers 12sq m, is running in Frankfurt Airport\u2019s T1 A+Z Non-Schengen Departure Area from 1 April-31 May. It follows on from the highly successful 2023 Roku activation with Gebr. Heinemann, which also took place at Frankfurt Airport.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the Sakura flower and world-renowned Hanami Festival, Roku Sakura Bloom Edition is the brand\u2019s first limited-edition gin. It is also the first release in the Roku Gin\u00a0Festival Collection \u2013 a global series inviting gin drinkers to experience the pinnacle of every season. This limited-edition release aims to capture the peak of spring and Japan\u2019s iconic cherry blossom season \u2013 including the internationally renowned Hanami Festival \u2013 through the soft and elegant floral taste of the Sakura blossom.<\/p>\n

Roku Sakura Bloom Edition (43% ABV) will be available for a limited time only in selected airport doors. The RRSP is US$32 for 700ml.<\/p>\n

Light, open and inviting, the Frankfurt activation incorporates a pretty pink pastel colour scheme. It is decorated extensively with pink blossom floral displays, designed to evoke the famous Hanami \u201cflower watching\u201d festivals.<\/p>\n

Prominent visuals and merchandising showcase the Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Edition branding, and its limited-edition status. Travellers who purchase two bottles receive an exclusive Japanese Knot Bag GWP that features the Roku Sakura Bloom design.<\/p>\n

Frankfurt Airport Retail Head of Category Management and Marketing Niclas Lammers commented: \u201cThe Frankfurt pop-up has really brought this launch to life, perfectly encapsulating the freshness and brightness of the ephemeral spring cherry blossom season \u2013 and the spirit of this very special premium release.

Heinemann, we are dedicated to continuously presenting travellers with unique products that showcase exceptional craftsmanship. One such product is the limited-edition gin from our trusted partner, Suntory Global Spirits.
