November 1 is awamori Day.
In order to make the Okinawan traditional sake awamori feel more familiar, Nanto Brewery introduces the charm of awamori.
What is awamori
Awamori is a traditional distilled liquor made in Okinawa for a long time. Rice (mainly Thai rice) is used as a raw material and alcohol content is slightly higher. It is characterized by a fragrant and deep taste.
It has a history of about 600 years and is said to be the oldest distilled liquor in Japan.
If you lie down for a long time, the taste becomes mellow, and it is known as "Koshu".
It is still an indispensable liquor for living in Okinawa, from celebration seats and everyday drinks.
About Uehara Sake Brewery
Uehara Sake Brewery was founded in 1947 and is the oldest brewery in Itoman City. We joined the Nanto Group in 2021 and continue to build awamori.
Behind the brewery, there is a spring water "Mbugar", which does not die all year round, and it is still carefully preserved as a sacred water indispensable for people's lives. The representative brand "Nanto Shinsen" was born with gratitude for the water source.
In addition, we introduced the first electronic technique in the awamori industry (negative air ion). With this unique manufacturing method, awamori has a mellow and mellow taste.

・"Nanto Shinsen Koshu" (The Nanto Shinsen Koshu)
Nanto Shinsen introduced electronic (negative air ion) technology as the only initiative in the industry.
Its quality has been highly evaluated in numerous reviews, and has been awarded the Okinawa Prefectural Governor's Award at the awamori Kankai, establishing itself as the top brand of awamori in both name and reality.
After more than three years of age, Shinsen has a soft, horny mouthfeel and deep body.
If you enjoy it slowly with straight or rock, the luxurious experience of "drinking time" will color your moment.
・young sake: 37 degrees or higher “Nanto Shinsen First Drop 2024”
The Nanto Shinsen First Taruri Series is completed by maturing awamori, which was distilled at the beginning of that year, for more than half a year. The mellow and mellow aroma makes you feel the new possibilities of awamori.
The quality of sake, which is suppressed by the electronic (negative air ion) technique, is surprisingly smooth even in short-term aging, and the aroma is as deep as matured sake.
The first hanging in 2024 is the most fragrant in the history of the series, and it is characterized by its long lingering finish so that you can enjoy the aroma remaining in the glass after drinking.
Since it has enough alcohol content suitable for old sake, it is possible to enjoy the change in flavor for a long time by aging after purchase.
Nanto Brewery has liqueurs such as Habu Snake Liquor, Ryukyu Lemon Sour and 35 Liqueur Awamori Coffee.
In fact, the foundation of these liqueurs is awamori made by Uehara Sake Brewery in Itoman City.
The award-winning "Nanto Shinsen" is also a masterpiece.
