Zuisen Awamori Ryukyu Dynasty Jar (1.8L)

Zuisen Awamori in the Ryukyu Dynasty Jar is an Okinawan awamori, presented in a large 1800ml jar. Awamori has been made in Okinawa since at least the 15th century, and Zuisen is the company behind this one. It is made with imported long-grain Indica rice from Thailand, using distilling techniques that Okinawan makers adapted and developed themselves. When Okinawa was an independent kingdom, awamori was sent as tribute to China and Japan. Zuisen has won international awards for its awamori, and some drinkers find it reminiscent of whisky.
