Sakura Ichiban 5yrs Awamori - 720ml
Sakura Ichiban 5yrs Awamori is a refined Japanese spirit from the historic Yamakawa Distillery in Okinawa. Aged for five years, it expresses the elegance of Kūsū (matured Awamori) with a delicate fragrance, gentle sweetness and layered complexity that wine lovers will appreciate for its balance and finesse.
On the nose, light floral and mellow Kūsū aromas set the tone. The palate reveals a soft sweetness and rich depth, developing into a more powerful taste when enjoyed neat. When diluted with water, the spirit becomes smoother while retaining its signature character. Clear and transparent, this Awamori also serves beautifully as a base for refined cocktails.
Named after the Yaedake Cherry Blossom Festival, the very first of Japan’s annual sakura celebrations, Sakura Ichiban embodies freshness, elegance and a deep sense of Okinawan tradition.
Founded in 1946, Yamakawa Distillery is dedicated to reviving and preserving the culture of Kūsū. Using mineral-rich spring water from its own source and careful distillation with minimal filtration, Yamakawa produces Awamori that reflects both craftsmanship and terroir.
Sakura Ichiban 5yrs combines the elegance of aged wine with the distinctive soul of Okinawa – a must-try for connoisseurs seeking authentic Japanese Awamori.
