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.

Exclusively with us: Akazake - a rarity with 1,200 years of history
Akazake is an absolute rarity from Kumamoto. Only two sake breweries still produce Akazake today - and one of them is our producer Zuiyo, which produces something particularly delicious with Tohi Aka-shu Akazake! Akazake is an ancient sake variety with a characteristic reddish-brown color and a history dating back over 1,200 years. Although the production process is similar to that of "normal" sake, Akazake is unique because wood ash is added during the production process.

Introduced: Ten Sho Chu by Ooyama Jinchichi Shoten from Ibusuki
The Ten Sho Chu is a very special sweet potato shochu (imo shochu), as the yeast and koji for this shochu were grown in a NASA space shuttle in zero gravity. Incidentally, "Ten Sho Chu" means space shochu and is also an amusing play on words in relation to shochu. This great craft spirit is normally only available in liquor stores in Kagoshima Prefecture. And also from us!

The Niseko Coffee Shochu takes the lemon sour to a whole new level. The coffee flavour harmonizes particularly well with the taste of fresh lemon.
