We offer a guided tour led by a dedicated kurabito (brewery artisan) with expert knowledge of Awamori. Awamori is Japan’s oldest distilled spirit, made using only rice. As Awamori ages, its components change, developing into kusu (aged Awamori) — a mellow and rich spirit with a sweet aroma. Sakimoto Distillery, with over 120 years of history, invites you to experience the carefully crafted taste that only a long-established Okinawan brewery can offer. After a guided tour of Ryukyu Mura and an exterior view of the Sakimoto Distillery (through glass), you’ll enjoy a tasting of five varieties of Awamori from Sakimoto. The experience includes: Ryukyu Mura admission, a dedicated guide, an Awamori highball, tasting of five Awamori types, and a special souvenir — the original Sakimoto "Yume Bottle."
