Ryukyu Awamori

During the Ryukyu Kingdom era, awamori was a valuable item essential for diplomacy as a gift for the Edo Shogunate and for entertaining Chinese investiture envoys. In addition to being used as sake, it is also used as a seasoning that produces a unique flavor for such dishes as rafute (braised pork belly). Awamori is a liquor that improves in quality and gets a richer taste by letting it mature over a long time.
