Born on Yonaguni Island, Japan’s westernmost island, Hanazake is a distinctive spirit shaped by the influence of Taiwanese drinking culture.
It is produced through a single atmospheric-pressure distillation, with no water added and only coarse filtration to remove impurities. Only the high-strength portion collected at the beginning of the distillation is selected, giving Hanazake its distinctive floral aroma and sweet, rich flavour.
When chilled in the freezer until slightly viscous, its natural sweetness becomes even more pronounced.
The leaves wrapped around each bottle are part of a traditional craft unique to Yonaguni Island. Each bottle is carefully wrapped and finished by hand by skilled artisans.
