Ryukyu Gold Awamori

Ryukyu Gold is produced by Shinzato Shuzo on Okinawa Honto. It is the oldest distillery in Okinawa, founded in 1846 and now in its 7th generation. Traditional craftsmanship meets visions of modernity here. The awamoris from Shinzato Shuzo have won many international awards and are extremely delicious.
Ryukyu Gold is a blend of 60% matured awamori (kusu) and 40% freshly distilled awamori. It is produced by atmospheric distillation. In addition to its mild aroma, this Awamori is characterized by a complex and intense taste. Paired with the fine umami notes of black koji, it is profound, yet very smooth and mild at 30% vol. Awamori is Okinawa's traditional spirit. And as Okinawa is also home to the highest number of over-centenarians in Japan, there is naturally a certain connection.

Ryukyu Awamori is ideal for pairing with smoked fish and meat, deep-fried dishes, marbled meat (e.g. pork belly) and cheese. It tastes great neat or on the rocks, and is a fantastic accompaniment to food when extended with soda or cold water.

Shinzato Shuzo is considered to be the oldest distillery on the island of Okinawa. Until 1879, Okinawa belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom. The legacy of Shinzato Distillery dates back to 1846, when a handful of families in three villages were given the honor by the monarchy of the Ryukyu Kingdom to produce the traditional local spirit called Awamori. As one of the appointed distilleries, the Shinzato family claimed to produce the very best awamori for the ancient royal family. To this day, the traditional methods have been maintained and the spirit of almost 180 years of corporate culture has been passed on. From (vintage) awamori to awamori-based liqueurs, the company manufactures products that are in keeping with traditional craftsmanship but also meet visions of modernity. Shinzato Shuzo is based on Okinawa Honto, Okinawa's main island. Shinzato Shuzo's awamoris have won many awards and are extremely delicious.
