Awamori

9:45 AM Edit This 0 Comments »

Awamori is a traditional alcoholic beverage in Okinawa. It is different than Japanese alcohol, "Sake", which is made from Japanese rice, not Thai rice. Average brands of Awamori have 30-43% alcohol and export brands one have only 25%. When both are called “Koshu”, it means it is older than 3 years, and is more valuable. It is very hard to drink it straight, so we usually mix it with water or some juices. People in Okinawa are known to be “good drinkers”. However, I choose not to drink alcohol so much even though it is good, so I won’t be an alcoholic!!
