Masahiro OKINAWA Gin The Japanese Craft Gin Recipe 01, with an alcohol content of 47 per cent by volume in a 0.7-litre bottle, is a unique Japanese craft gin that combines the traditional distilling expertise of the Masahiro Distillery with the exotic flavours of Okinawa. The Masahiro Distillery, founded in 1883, is one of the oldest distilleries in Okinawa and is best known for its masterful production of awamori, a traditional Japanese spirit. This expertise in the art of distillation is reflected in the production of this exceptional gin, which is refined with regional botanicals.

What makes this gin special is the use of local ingredients from Okinawa, which lend it a distinctive, fruity and floral character. Alongside classic juniper, goya (bitter melon), roselle (hibiscus), dried shikwasa (a Japanese citrus fruit), pepper and cinnamon leaves are used as botanicals. This combination creates a refreshing, complex and harmonious flavour that blends Japanese elegance with tropical lightness.
