Tasting Notes

Upon tasting, “Treasure Ship” offers an immediate scent of refreshing sweetness, unfolding into a bouquet reminiscent of cherry blossoms with a hint of grain alcohol. The palate experiences a razor-sharp smoothness, with the first contact being light and pure, akin to premium flower tea. Its flavor profile includes notes of pear and a subtle graininess, culminating in a lingering woodsy finish. This sake pairs exceptionally well with lighter fare such as sushi, fine cheeses, and dishes featuring white wine sauces.

Brewery Description

Miyashita Sake Brewery is a multifaceted alcoholic beverage maker, which makes and sells a variety of alcoholic beverages, including sake (Japanese rice wine), beer, shochu (distilled spirit), ume (Japanese apricot) liqueur and whisky.

Kamezo Miyashita and Motosaburo Miyashita, the brothers that founded Miyashita Sake Brewery were born in Akaiwa County (now Akaiwa City). As the brothers lost their father at young age, they were left in the care of a relative. During that time the brothers gained experience in brewery, as this relative managed a brewery business. Taking the opportunity of Uno Port’s harbor construction in 1909, they started brewing sake anew in 1915, at city of Tamano, in Okayama Prefecture. This was the start of Miyashita Sake Brewery.

In 1967, the Brewery was relocated to its current location (Nishigawara, Naka-ku Okayama-shi) by Asahigawa River, one of the three major rivers in Okayama. The underground water of Asahigawa River, drawn from 100 meter beneath, is used for our brewing. The location is exceptionally blessed for brewing – nearby is Korakuen, one of the three famous gardens of Japan, and also cold spring of Omachi, chosen as one of the 100 Best Waters of Japan.
