The Story of Okinawa Gin
Crafted by Masahiro Distillery, Okinawa Gin represents the island’s rich history and diverse terroir. Founded in 1883 by Shobun Higa, Masahiro Distillery traces its roots back to Shozoku Higa, the master chef for the Ryukyu Kingdom, a kingdom whose passion for cuisine set a precedent for excellence in spirit production. Inspired by Okinawa’s mineralrich soils and unique island spirit, Okinawa Gin blends juniper berries with an array of native local botanicals, upholding the traditional Awamori distillation methods. Goya seed, Guava leaf, Shekwasha fruit, Roselle flower, and Pipazu long pepper are five Japanese botanicals carefully selected to create Okinawa Gin. With over 140 years of equal dedication to tradition and innovation, Masahiro Distillery upholds its legacy of authenticity by crafting spirits that truly embody and represent the Okinawan way.
The birth story of Okinawa Gin
In 2017, Okinawa Gin was born in the southern island in Okinawa, Japan. When Okinawa Gin dropped in the distiller at the first time, we were in the middle of hot summer and felt Okinawa’s seasonal wind – Mahae. We still remember that our distiller was overflowed with aromas which we had never felt before.
