Roku Gin
Third Face
How does Roku Gin, a Japanese craft gin from Suntory, appeal to the sober generation? With a new product: Roku Third Face, a nonalcoholic botanical spirit aimed at those who strive to stay true to themselves, their essence, and their outward and inward identities.
The Philosophy
The Japanese theory of Three Faces helps us understand the very facets of our being. The first face is the one you show to the world. The second is shown to close friends and family. And the third is never revealed to anyone, because it’s the true essence of your identity.
The New Identity
The Third Face branding draws inspiration from Japanese art and elegant linework while honoring the legacy of Roku Gin. A washi paper label adds texture while a thoughtful logo merges Roku’s hexagon and Third Face’s philosophy.
