Umemitsuki - Black Sugar Awamori Plum Wine 720ml

Awamori is a distilled liquor produced in Okinawa Prefecture. Liquor is classified according to different manufacturing methods, including distilled liquor, brewed liquor, and blended liquor. Brewed liquor is made by adding yeast to the raw materials to ferment. The brewed liquor is heated and distilled to form distilled liquor. Distilled liquor has a higher alcohol content than brewed liquor.

Beer, Japanese sake, and wine are brewed liquors, while whiskey, vodka, shochu, awamori, etc. are distilled liquors. Awamori has a unique production method among distilled liquors. It adopts the "whole rice koji making method". Aspergillus niger is added to raw Thai rice to cultivate rice koji, then water and yeast are added for fermentation, and finally it is distilled in a single still.

The so-called "old sake" refers to Awamori that has been stored for more than 3 years. Put the newly made Awamori into a bottle or vat, and let the ingredients in the wine slowly mature, creating a rich and fragrant Awamori and ancient sake.
