Description
"The Ryukyuan liquor surmounted the vicissitudes of history to take its place as a major industry of Okinawa. Since Okinawa's reversion to Japan, the rate of production has increased rapidly, with production in 1994 2.2 times more than the production in 1972. Awarded a gold medal at an international competition, awamori is now recognized internationally, and its demand has increased both at home and abroad.
The Ryukyuan awamori is also inextricably linked with Okinawan culture and the arts. Together with Ryukyuan cuisine, it forms the foundation of the Okinawan food culture. It is not an exaggeration to say that the centuries-old awamori constitutes a unique Okinawan culture that is intrinsic to the life of the people"--From Foreword.
