Hop BroToday’s topic is Miyashita Sake Brewing’s ninth mini-bottle release!
MugiWhat! A new one at last!? Is it the thing called Whisky Okayama Manzanilla?
Hop BroOfficially, it’s the single malt Sherry Cask version, 100 ml for 3,300 yen, and it’s a limited release starting March 19.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to be? First, what is Manzanilla? It sounds like a special move!
Hop BroIt’s a type of dry sherry from Spain, with apple and chamomile aromas, plus an almond note, and the taste is sharp and dry.
MugiOhhh! But when I hear sherry cask aging, it suddenly sounds like a science class!
Hop BroIt means letting it mature in the cask so it picks up flavor and aroma. Compared with last year’s Oloroso, the key point is enjoying the difference in its dry character.
MugiNow I want to do a comparison tasting! And with the easy-to-handle 100 ml size, it’s kind to both my wallet and my liver!
Hop BroYou can only buy it at two directly operated Miyashita Sake Brewing locations, the Kakuuchi at Okayama Station and Sake Kobo Doppokan, so it’s a two-store-only release and will probably move fast.
Hop BroIt’ll hit beer fans too. Miyashita Sake Brewing also makes Doppo and Kurashiki Beer, and this crisp, finish-focused design is a really good fit.
MugiDecision made! After work, let’s head out and toast with the limited bottle!
According to the latest information released by Miyashita Sake Brewing, the ninth installment of the mini-bottle project is the Single Malt Whisky Okayama Sherry Cask Manzanilla. It comes in a 100 ml bottle, is priced at 3,300 yen (tax included), and has been available in limited quantities since March 19, 2026.
This time's keyword is "Manzanilla." It is a type of dry sherry aged in Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain's Andalusia region, and the announcement describes it as having aromas reminiscent of fresh apples, chamomile, and almonds, with a sharp, dry taste. Another point not to miss for fans following the series is the chance to enjoy how it differs from last year's "Sherry Cask Oloroso."
The sales locations are "Miyashita Sake Brewing Kakuuchi" on the 2nd floor of Santsute Okayama South Building at JR Okayama Station, and "Sake Kobo Doppokan" in Nishigawara, Naka Ward, Okayama City. Both are directly operated by Miyashita Sake Brewing, and given how quickly limited items tend to move, anyone interested should check early.
Miyashita Sake Brewing is a comprehensive beverage maker based in Okayama, producing everything from the sake "Gokurei," local beers "Doppo" and "Kurashiki Beer," to whisky "Okayama." For readers who know the company through the craft beer scene, the appeal of this mini-bottle series lies in experiencing how ideas about ingredients, fermentation, and aging appear in a different category of liquor. In particular, this dry-leaning design is a release that beer fans who prefer a crisp finish may find worth trying.
