A Legacy Rooted in Okinawa
Founded in 1883 by Shobun Higa, Masahiro Distillery traces its lineage back to the esteemed Master Chef for the Ryukyu Kingdom, Shozoku Higa. Leveraging his reputation and culinary background, a distillery secured the first license to produce the traditional Okinawan spirit, Awamori, establishing itself as a cornerstone of Okinawan heritage. Masahiro Whisky serves as the flagship whisky of its namesake distillery. Influenced by Okinawa’s warm and humid subtropical climate and the Pacific Ocean breeze, delivers an accelerated cask maturation process with a rich but balanced flavor profile, crafting a drinking experience that reflects the subtleties of Okinawa’s terroir and Masahiro’s distinct role in sharing Japanese whiskey with the world.
