This fiery and fresh drink is topped off with sparkling ginger beer.

Purist elegance from Miyazaki: Masaharu Gin

Discover the delicious Masaharu Gin from Miyazaki. It impresses with its purist elegance. Instead of relying on a multitude of botanicals, the long-established Yamaya Distillery trusts in the power of simplicity and striking aromas: only juniper berries, yuzu, and hebesu are used as botanicals for this craft gin. The rare hebesu, a citrus fruit native to Miyazaki, is similar to a lime but milder, rounder, and less bitter.

The Ume Blossom: Japan's First Sign of Spring

While winter still seems to have Japan firmly in its grip, spring is already quietly announcing its arrival. Not with cherry blossoms and picnic blankets, but with a delicate fragrance wafting through the cold air—the ume blossom.

For many Japanese people, the ume blossom is more than just a botanical event. It is a cultural symbol, an occasion for rituals, festivals, and culinary traditions.
