Japan is known for having a pretty adventurous cuisine.

They serve shirako (fish sperm sac) in snack bars. They eat raw horse meat. They candy grasshoppers.

If there’s one thing guaranteed to cause mass hysteria and despair across the UK, it’s news of a looming gin shortage.

Back in October 2015, we were warned that we could be facing a gin crisis of huge proportions.
