Makugan Rum

INGREDIENTS & PRODUCTION

Made from 100% Miyakojima sugarcane and mineral-rich water naturally filtered through ancient Ryukyu coral limestone. Fermented with proprietary native yeast (MY17) that was extracted from the locally grown sugarcane and

double-distilled in a hybrid still — first under vacuum, then at normal atmosphere —

producing a remarkably clean, aromatic white rum.

THE BRAND

“Makugan” (まくがん) means coconut crab in the Miyakojima

dialect — an endangered species found only on the island. The striking red label celebrates this iconic creature, reflecting Taragawa’s philosophy of cherishing nature and honoring local culture.

WHY IT STANDS OUT

Coral island geology creates mineral-rich hard water — the foundation of a unique,

place-driven terroir

Proprietary MY17 yeast, native to Miyakojima, amplifies the aromatic sugarcane character

75+ year-old distillery with deep expertise in traditional Okinawan spirits

Versatile serve: exceptional neat, on the rocks, or as a premium cocktail base
