Hanashu (Sakimoto Shuzojo)
Hanashu is a 6-percent alcohol awamori permitted to be produced only on Yonaguni Island. Sakimoto Shuzojo, as the oldest brewery on Yonaguni Island, continues to protect this tradition. 'Hanashu' refers to the first distillate obtained during the distillation process. It is essentially the 'first press' of awamori and was a very precious liquor presented to kings during the Ryukyu Kingdom era. Because the alcohol content exceeds 45%, it is classified as a spirit rather than awamori under tax law. It possesses a delicate aroma and sweetness born from traditional direct-fire pot distillation. This bottle is the very embodiment of Yonaguni's culture, indispensable for the island's festivals. Please enjoy this exceptionally special liquor, the pride of Japan's westernmost island.
