Mensore! Welcome to the "Ryukyu Culture Japan Heritage & Ryukyu Awamori" booth!
Okinawa, once the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom where a unique culture flourished, remains home to a vibrant history and living traditions. At this booth, we showcase the rich spiritual culture of Ryukyu—recognized as a "Japan Heritage"—and the appeal of Ryukyu Awamori, a distilled spirit that Okinawa proudly shares with the world.
We offer Awamori tasting experiences featuring both *kusu* (aged Awamori) and standard varieties. To ensure even first-time drinkers can enjoy the experience, we suggest serving styles such as mixing with soda water and explain the flavor profiles and differences between aged and standard types. We also distribute brochures about the Ryukyu Culture Japan Heritage; here, you will find tips to make your next trip to Okinawa even more special and memorable.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Okinawa area at Tokyo Big Sight!
