Awamori has a history of about 600 years and was used by the royal court and nobles.
It was once used as the national wine to entertain the envoys of China.
It is one of the three major alcoholic beverages in Japan and is a distilled alcoholic beverage, just like liquor.
The raw material is Thai rice, which is fermented using Aspergillus niger, and the alcohol content is judged by the amount of foam.
Whether you taste it or take it home as a specialty, it is worth it.
Awamori sake is stored in a stalactite cave 30 meters underground, and matures into ancient sake using the natural environment of the cave with a room temperature of 18 degrees.
Through long-term maturation, the taste of Awamori is more mellow and soft.
In Okinawa, to celebrate and commemorate the birth of a newborn, parents will choose a high-quality awamori to mature as their child grows.
