Product details
Miyashita East Meets West Sherry Cask Honjozo Genshu represents a distinctive meeting of Japanese craftsmanship and European cask influence. Miyashita Brewery, established in Okayama in 1915, has more than a century of experience creating refined Japanese beverages, and this expression reflects the producer’s spirit of exploration by combining its traditional rice-based production with maturation in Oloroso Sherry casks. The result is an unconventional expression in which the natural sweetness of rice meets the deeper character developed through time in oak, creating a distinctive bridge between Japanese tradition and Western cask craftsmanship.
The tasting profile reveals subtle raisin and prune notes layered over gentle rice sweetness, followed by richer impressions of nuts and figs associated with Oloroso Sherry cask maturation. Its combination of dried-fruit character, nutty depth, and gentle sweetness creates a rounded and layered palate with a distinctive cask-influenced character. Enjoy alongside seafood paella, wood-plank salmon, or a charcuterie board, where the dried-fruit and nutty notes can complement savory flavors.
