Mizuho Mild 5yrs Awamori - 720ml
Mizuho Mild 5yrs Awamori is crafted with black koji, which softens as it matures, allowing both aroma and flavour to evolve with time. Only carefully selected aged Awamori (kusu), each matured for more than five years, is used. It is finished at 25% ABV to highlight its approachable style.
The spirit carries the sweet fragrance typical of long-aged kusu, alongside a clean, mild profile with a gentle sweetness. It was developed with the intention of making the refined character of five-year aged Awamori accessible to more people. Enjoyed neat, over ice, or with meals, it reveals its full expression in different settings.
Founded in 1848 in Shuri during the reign of King Shō Tai, Mizuho Shuzo is the oldest existing brewery among the Shuri Sanka districts. With a legacy tied to the Ryukyu royal family, the distillery continues to safeguard the tradition of Ryukyu Awamori while remaining deeply rooted in Shuri’s history and culture.

Founded in 1848, during the first year of the Kaei era, Mizuho Shuzo was established in the ancient city of Shuri, at the time when King Shō Tai sat on the throne of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Its history has been closely intertwined with the royal family, nurturing a tradition that continues to this day.
Awamori from Mizuho Shuzo represents the heritage of Ryukyu Awamori, a spirit once regarded as a precious sake, produced exclusively in the three districts surrounding Shuri Castle (Shuri Sanka). Among these three, Mizuho Shuzo holds a unique place as the oldest surviving brewery, originally founded in Toribori-chō.
Today, the brewery carries forward this legacy, safeguarding the craftsmanship of Awamori while remaining deeply rooted in the history and culture of Shuri.
