Introducing Our Butterfly Pea Cocktails!🍹

The rainy season is over, and summer has officially arrived in Okinawa! ☀️

Stop by the bar counter at the HELIOS Distillery Kusu-gura Shop and enjoy one of our refreshing cocktails made with vibrant butterfly pea syrup.

Choose from two delicious options: one made with our blended whisky “Reki”, or the other featuring TEEDA WHITE, our white rum crafted from Okinawan brown sugar.

These vibrant, sweet cocktails are the perfect way to cool off and enjoy the Okinawan

If you’re driving, why not try our non-alcoholic Kurokoji Moromi Vinegar Soda?

We normally serve it lightly sweetened with Okinawan brown sugar, but if you prefer, we’re happy to make it sugar-free for an even lighter, more refreshing taste.

Rich in citric acid and amino acids, it’s the perfect drink to help you stay refreshed and beat the summer heat!

Be sure to give it a try the next time you stop by.

🦋 What is Butterfly Pea? 🦋

Butterfly pea is a flowering plant native to Asia and a member of the legume family. In Japan, it’s known as Chōmame (“butterfly bean”) because its blossoms resemble the shape of a butterfly.

Its beautiful vivid blue color comes from anthocyanins, natural plant pigments known for their antioxidant properties.

At our shop, we also sell butterfly pea syrup and jam made by Shirakawa Farm in Yaese Town. The syrup is the same one we use in our cocktails, so if you enjoy its vibrant color and delicate flavor, be sure to check it out!😊

The fourth photo features the beautiful gettō (shell ginger) flowers, which are now in full bloom. Their charming bell-shaped buds and colorful yellow blossoms can be seen throughout Okinawa at this time of year.
