About

From Miyashita Shuzo in Okayama prefecture, a sake brewery turned craft whisky producer. Their core single malt showcases the terroir of Okayama's mild climate and quality water. A lesser known but genuinely interesting Japanese single malt worth seeking out.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh green apple, pear, light honey, and a subtle floral quality. Clean and inviting with hints of cereal.

Palate

Medium bodied with orchard fruit, vanilla, and gentle oak. A pleasant malty sweetness with touches of white pepper and dried herbs.

Finish

Medium length, clean, with lingering fruit and a touch of oak tannin.

What People Are Saying

Praised for its clean, approachable character. Reviewers appreciate the fruity notes and gentle oak. Popular among those discovering lesser known Japanese distilleries.

Under the radar single malt from a sake brewery in Okayama. Clean and fruity profile, very easy to drink. Not as complex as Chichibu or Shizuoka but a good value for a genuine Japanese single malt.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water. The clean, fruity character also makes an excellent highball.
