Named after its place of origin,Takashiho Awamori Sake is a distinguished expression of Okinawa’s rich cultural heritage.

This unique awamori sake is crafted to be enjoyed with food, enhancing rather than overpowering the dining experience.

Packaged in a beautifully crafted glass bottle resting in an elegant carton, the product promises both aesthetic appeal and exceptional quality.

Visually, the product is clear and bright, with a colourless appearance that hints at its purity.

The nose is powerful yet refined, offering an expressive grainy aroma with a subtle herbaceous note. The olfactory experience is marked by the fine, delicate scent of black koji, which blends seamlessly with malty and roasted tones, showcasing a remarkable aromatic purity.

Upon tasting, the awamori sake delivers a powerful yet elegant initial burst of flavour with a touch of alcohol that quickly gives way to a smooth and pure flavour profile.

The slightly saline taste is well-balanced and accompanied by well-integrated grain flavours, offering a soft, harmonious mouthfeel. The signature markers of Awamori are present, but they are superbly blended, resulting in an incredibly fine and well-rounded product.

Experts highlighted the exceptional balance and finesse of the product, leading them to nominate it for the 2024 Jury Prize.
