A unique Awamori tour at Ikehara Distillery in Ishigaki 石垣島 池原酒造 白百合 泡盛ツアー
I went to an Awamori distillery for a hands-on Awamori tour and tasting. And it was my first time!
It was quite an extraordinary feeling when I entered in such an old wooden building. Much time to think about it, I didn’t have though. Roll up the sleeves and get to work!
The craftsmanship behind Awamori, and my own hands touching the rice, opened my eyes and gave me a deeper knowledge about the history and culture of Awamori and Okinawa.
With this video & article I will take you with me and show you around, through the interesting world of Kouji and rice. And a lot of steam!
