Ori-Gin1848 Strawberry Gin - 500ml
Ori-Gin 1848 Strawberry Gin is a special release in the ORI-GiN1848 series, created with the concept of expressing the essence of Okinawa in a single sip.
This edition builds on the original tropical and rich craft gin, enhanced with the flavour of fresh strawberries sourced directly from farms in Okinawa Prefecture. The fragrance of ripe strawberries merges with the strength of juniper and the tropical depth of the base gin, producing a striking new expression.
The spirit is made from Awamori brewed with cherry blossom yeast, isolated from the blossoms of Motobu Town, home to Japan’s earliest cherry blossom festival. Nine additional botanicals from Okinawa complement the blend, with fragrant peach pineapple from Iriomote Island as the central note. Whenever possible, botanicals are sourced fresh from local farms to ensure quality.
Unlike traditional gin production, where botanicals are distilled together, each ingredient here is distilled separately. Five distinct raw spirits are created—requiring more than five times the work of conventional methods—before being carefully blended for harmony and precision.
Founded in 1848 in Shuri during the reign of King Shō Tai, Mizuho Shuzo remains the oldest existing brewery of the Shuri Sanka. Its Awamori, once reserved for the Ryukyu royal court, continues to represent Okinawa’s deep heritage while the distillery explores new directions such as Ori-Gin 1848.

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.
