About Masahiro Distillery

The story of Masahiro Distillery begins in 1883 when Shobun Higa, inspired by the culinary mastery and illustrious legacy of his father, Shozoku Higa—the esteemed Master Chef of the Ryukyu Kingdom—decided to transform his inherited passion for exquisite flavors into the art of distillation. With the help of Shozoku Higa’s esteemed reputation, Masahiro Distillery earned the trust needed to craft “Awamori”—a traditional Okinawan spirit made from indica rice and the island’s indigenous black koji.

In addition to the island’s exotic terroir, Okinawa’s warm subtropical climate enhances Masahiro’s distilling process, creating rich and balanced flavors with hints of tropical fruit and also, expedites the cask maturation process.
