沖繩堪稱最具夏天氣息的日本度假勝地,而沖繩消暑聖品,除了Orion酒廠用沖繩苦瓜釀的苦瓜啤酒外,沖繩的昌廣酒造,除了沖繩苦瓜,還同時運用沖繩另一項解暑特產:「酸桔」。

Okinawa is one of the most popular places to spend the summer in Japan. In addition to the bitter melon beer made from Okinawan bitter melon by Orion Brewery, Masahiro Shuzo Distillery in Okinawa also uses Okinawan bitter melon and another specialty of Okinawa to ease the summer heat: “Kumquat”.

所謂「酸桔」,近似台灣金桔。

The so-called “Okinawa Shekwasha” is similar to the Taiwanese kumquat.

在近年興起的琴酒熱中,昌廣沖繩琴酒以運用沖繩特產材料獨樹一幟:

Among the recent gin boom in the spirits industry, Masahiro Okinawa Gin stands out for its Okinawan ingredients.

除了用沖繩泡盛加上蒸餾技術釀琴酒,更在琴酒基本材料杜松子外,添加沖繩苦瓜、酸桔、芭樂葉、洛神花、胡椒等五種材料,讓這款琴酒,不但嚐起來有沖繩風味,更具消暑奇效。

In addition to Okinawan Awamori and distillation techniques, five other ingredients are added to the gin, including Goya, Shekwasha, Guava leaves, Juniper, and long pepper, giving this gin not only an Okinawan taste but also a fresh kick on the summer heat.

台灣2021防疫期間,深入鄰里的全聯超市成為許多人減少移動距離的選擇,而全聯超市架上,屏東科大認證履歷的萬丹金桔,成為引出昌廣沖繩琴酒「酸桔」香氣的最佳「台灣親戚」。

During Taiwan’s 2021 epidemic prevention period, PX mart, which is located deep in all neighborhoods, has become the shopping choice of many people to reduce their moving distance.

On the shelves of PX mart, the Wandan kumquat with the certified resume of Pingtung University of Science and Technology has become the best “Taiwanese relative” to draw out the “Okinawa Shekwasha” aroma of Masahiro Okinawa Gin.

琴通寧本就是適合夏天的簡單調酒,如果用昌廣沖繩琴酒、通寧汽水,加上萬丹金桔,就升級成更消暑的金桔琴通寧。

Gin Tonic is a great drink for summer, but if you use Masahiro Okinawa Gin, Tonic soda, and Wandan kumquat, you can upgrade the cocktail to another level.

將冰鎮的昌廣沖繩琴酒與通寧汽水以1:3的比例調和,

擠入半顆萬丹金桔汁,

最後將剩下半顆萬丹金桔置入,

就完成這款沖繩風的「日台友好調酒」。

Mix the chilled Masahiro Okinawa Gin with Tonic soda in the ratio of 1:3, squeeze in half of the Wandan kumquat juice,

and finally put in the remaining half of the Wandan kumquat

to complete this Okinawan-style “Japan-Taiwan Friendship Cocktail”.

全民防疫、減少外出又要忍受酷暑,一杯金桔琴通寧,讓我們放縱想像、飛向沖繩海邊,堪稱2021夏日最佳良伴。

The best companion for the summer of 2021 is a glass of kumquat gin tonic, which allows us to let our imagination run wild and fly to the Okinawa beach.
