Awamori is an alcoholic beverage indigenous to and unique to Okinawa, Japan. It is made from long grain indica rice, and is not a direct product of brewing (like Sake) but of distillation (like Shochu). The most popular way to drink awamori is with water and ice. Awamori can also be drunk straight, on the rocks, and in cocktails.
