As early as 1883, the Higa family received a brewing license from the Ryukyu Dynasty. The first generation Shobun Higa founded Shoguang Shuzo in a village near Shuri's palace and began brewing traditional Ryukyu traditional spirits (Awamori). The founder's father, Shozoku Higa, was originally the chief chef of the Ryukyu Dynasty and was well-known in the food industry. His skills and passion for delicacies have been inherited and used in the century-old brewing concept.

Masahiro Brewery is the first ancient and advanced brewery in Okinawa to obtain ISO9001 certification.

The 8th generation Masayasu Higa successfully launched the first craft Okinawa gin in 2018 and entered the craft whiskey industry, determined to establish the leading Japanese whiskey brand in the world of whiskey.
