In the distant past, when Okinawa was an independent kingdom, it was the norm to age sake. Even now, this style is considered Okinawa's treasure. In 1969, Mizuho Shuzo purchased the "Tenryuugura" - a 640000 liter underground tank that they use for this purpose. They are proud to be one of the oldest operating Sakagura in Okinawa.
TASTING NOTES
Awamori is known as Japan's oldest distilled spirit, and is most likely the driest of all Shochu. The alcohol content is relatively low in this Awamori, making it easy to savor the light, sweet qualities. Enjoyable and refreshing.
