Masahiro

Masahiro Distillery was founded in 1883 by Shobun Higa. His father – Shozoku Higa (the master chef for Ryuku Kingdom) had an established reputation in Ryuku Kingdom and he was awarded with the license for Awamori (rice spirits). Shozoku’s passion for cuisines is still alive and Masahiro Distillery is famous for its production techniques, prominent qualities, and passion for innovation over 140 years. We are always inspired by Okinawa's terroir. Okinawa is a southern island between 2 oceans which is covered with mineral-rich soils. From a historical perspective, Okinawa was the cultural intersection in East Asia, which resulted in Okinawa's richness in farm products.
