Sangosho Black Awamori - 720ml

Product information "Sangosho Black Awamori - 720ml"

Sangosho Black Awamori is a rare Japanese spirit that appeals to wine and fine spirit enthusiasts alike. This vintage (1 year aged) Awamori opens with delicate floral notes, layered with ripe peach, mango and tropical fruit. On the palate, a gentle sweetness is balanced by warming spice nuances of ginger and cardamom, creating both depth and elegance. Matured in stainless steel, it retains remarkable freshness while offering richness and a clean, refreshing finish. Sangosho Black is the first Awamori ever to be officially labelled as a vintage in Okinawa – a milestone in Japanese spirits.

Crafted at the Yamakawa Distillery on Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost island, this unique Awamori reflects both heritage and innovation. Founded in 1946, Yamakawa set out to revive the tradition of Kūsū – Awamori aged for at least three years – and remains committed to authenticity. Using mineral-rich water from its own source, the distillery maximises flavour through careful distillation and minimal filtration. Recognised at the Kura Master 2021, Yamakawa has earned acclaim for producing Awamori of outstanding quality and character.
