Udisan No Sake Awamori

Udisan is an old word from the Ryūkyū language and means "joy". Udisan No Sake Awamori is produced by Miyanohana on the island of Miyakojima, Okinawa Prefecture. It is not made from imported Thai rice, as is usually the case, but from 100% domestic rice. It is important to the company that the rice is grown without the use of fertilizers, compost or pesticides. The producers found what they were looking for in a farmer in Kumamoto, so that they can only use Japanese rice (Hinohikari) from natural cultivation for the production of Udisan No Sake Awamori.

Incidentally, 80% of the workforce at Miyanohana are women. This is very rare. They are said to have a particularly gentle and caring approach to distilling, and the Udisan is indeed very mild, soft and round. After distillation, this Awamori is stored in steel tanks for over a year. The strong umami notes from the black koji are followed by a beautiful rice aroma. The Udisan is complex and deep and has an alcohol content of 30% vol. The beautiful, bright bottle symbolizes the blue sky over Okinawa.

Udisan No Sake Awamori is ideal for pairing with smoked fish and meat, fried foods, fatty meat (e.g. pork belly) and cheese. It tastes great on its own or on the rocks, and is a fantastic accompaniment to food when extended with soda or cold water.

Miyanohana was founded in 1948 on Irabu Island in the Miyako Islands, about 300 km southwest of the main island of Okinawa Honto. The water of the island, which has a population of 6,000, is ideal for the production of awamori because it contains many minerals. 80% of Miyanohana's workforce are women, something special in an industry that is actually a true male domain.
