Osuzuyama Yamasaru Barley Shochu

Osuzuyama Yamasaru is an artisanal barley shochu (mugi shochu) crafted by Osuzuyama Distillery in Miyazaki, Japan. Made using locally grown barley and distilled at low temperature to preserve delicate aromatics, Yamasaru offers gentle notes of toasted grain, vanilla, soft nuttiness and clean minerality. Smooth, refined and quietly expressive, it reflects the distillery’s focus on purity and craftsmanship.

Extremely versatile, Yamasaru shines neat, on the rocks, mixed with cold or hot water (mizuwari / oyuwari), or served in a light highball. Its understated flavour pairs beautifully with Japanese cuisine—especially sashimi, yakitori, tempura and noodle dishes. For drinkers seeking a clean, elegant and authentically crafted barley shochu, Osuzuyama Yamasaru is an outstanding choice.
