Purist elegance from Miyazaki! Juniper berries, yuzu and hebesu - instead of relying on a multitude of botanicals, the Yamaya distillery relies on the power of simplicity for its Masaharu gin. The rare hebesu, a citrus fruit native only to Miyazaki, resembles a lime, but is milder, rounder and less bitter. Its refreshing aroma gives Masaharu Gin a delicate, green freshness that harmonizes perfectly with the complex, floral acidity of the yuzu. Together, they create a flavor profile that is clear, lively and unmistakably Japanese. Masaharu gin has an elegant balance between juniper spice and citrus freshness. It has a beautiful herbaceous aroma and slightly ethereal nuances. The green freshness of the gin is also reflected in the beautiful bottle design of this delicious gin.

The Yamaya Distillery is located in Miyazaki Prefecture in southern Japan, nestled between the sea and the mountains. The region is known for its lush nature and exceptional citrus fruits. Masaharu Gin captures the landscape and taste of Miyazaki in purist form, particularly through the use of hebesu, which is so special. Its aroma is reminiscent of kabosu or sudachi, but is more delicate and refreshing. In the region, hebesu is traditionally used as a seasoning for fish, meat and soups and, as a fresh fruit, is considered particularly healthy due to its high vitamin C content.
Masaharu Gin is a multi-award-winning ambassador of Japanese distillation skills. It has already won several international spirit competitions. In recent years, it has won the silver medal at the International Spirits Challenge (ISC) 2024, the silver medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) 2024 and the silver medal at the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition (TWSC) 2023. The jury of the IWSC 2024 described Masaharu Gin as follows: "An intensely aromatic offering with a delightful blend of tropical flavors, eucalyptus and fresh grapefruit on the nose. Well-defined fruit and spice flavors that culminate in a bright, pithy finish."

In cocktails, Masaharu Gin takes classics such as gin and tonic or martini to a new level - refreshing, light and full of character. A gin that brings the sun of Miyazaki into every glass, and is also a pleasure on its own or with soda.

About the manufacturer

The Yamaya Distillery is a small distillery in the town of Saito in Miyazaki Prefecture. It was founded in 1956 under the name Masaharu Shuzo. The company has been producing the finest honkaku shochus and liqueurs here ever since. Just 12 employees take care of everything, from production to distribution. In 2022, the distillery changed its name to Yamaya Distillery. The area around the warehouse is blessed with particularly pure and mineral-rich water, which makes their products particularly smooth and mild.
