Tentang
Okinawa's subtropical climate and distinct Ryukyu cultural heritage make it awamori territory rather than sake country. Awamori, distilled from Thai indica rice with black koji, is the traditional spirit. Nihonshu-style sake production is virtually nonexistent here, but Okinawa's drinking culture and the craft spirit movement are beginning to inspire experimental rice-based brews.
