Shima Urara Awamori - 720ml
Shima Urara is an Awamori spirit crafted from rice grown with great care in the fertile landscapes of Ishigaki Island. Introduced in 2019, it has already earned multiple international awards, reflecting both quality and innovation.
Its style is light, fruity and smooth, with a refreshing clarity. A subtle sweetness runs through the flavour, balanced by a crisp finish that makes it highly versatile. It can be enjoyed diluted with water, sparkling water, or as the base for cocktails, while at the table it pairs beautifully with food—especially fried dishes such as tempura.
The spirit is created by Yaesen Shuzo, a distillery rooted in the rich natural environment of Ishigaki. Since its founding, Yaesen has been closely connected with the island community, producing Awamori with sincerity and respect for tradition. The house is recognised for combining direct-fire distillation with long-term ageing in Western-style oak casks—an innovation in the Awamori world.
Located on a hilltop overlooking the sea, the Yaesen distillery is both a producer and a destination. Shima Urara captures the freshness of Ishigaki’s nature and the craftsmanship of Yaesen, a spirit born from the island and cherished by its people.
