Itinerary
【DETAILS】 Embark on a journey through the story of Awamori, closely tied to the everyday life of the local community, as you visit water reservoirs in the Yanbaru Forest, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Awamori refined at the northernmost tip of Okinawa's main island, where it is slowly and deliberately aged to maximize its flavor. This exquisite spirit boasts rich flavors and a gentle sweetness, thanks to the pure spring waters of Ogimi Village, the "Village of Longevity." Experience this beloved local taste in an intimate distillery surrounded by Yanbaru's lush nature. 【SCHEDULE】 [10:00] Meet at Yanbaru Distillery and enjoy a guided tour of the village. [11:00] Explore the distillery and learn about its unique production methods. [12:00] Savor a gourmet Awamori pairing lunch at a hidden gem restaurant, just a one-minute walk from the distillery.
