 Shochu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Awamori, while also a distilled rice wine, differs from normal shochu as it is made from long-grained Indica rice, not the short-grained Japonica usually eaten in Japan.
Shochu should not be confused with sake, a brewed (not distilled) rice wine.
However, in Southern Kyushu sake actually means potato shochu, imo-jochu ; while in Okinawa it means the local brew awamori (泡盛, lit.

 Awamori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Awamori is aged underground in constant cool temperatures in clay pots or vases.
Awamori may be marketed as such when over 50% of the beverage being sold is of sufficient age.
When awamori is aged for three years or more, it is called kÅ«sÅ« (古酒).

 Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features - Key Ingredient
Awamori is also an essential part of Okinawan cuisine and is used in dishes from braised pork to simmered miso sauces.
Awamori is aged three to eight years, resulting in a very fragrant and mellow liquor.
Recently, chefs have experimented with non-traditional uses of awamori in such recipes as sorbets and fancy cocktails.

Another typical dish is rafuti, pork stewed in miso, soy sauce, sugar and awamori, which is very similar to a Chinese dish called kakuni.
Black sugar and awamori (an Okinawan brandy-like liquor made from rice) are used in cooking along with soy sauce and miso (fermented soybeans).
Toofuyoo is a strongly flavored super-concentrated tofu concoction that's eaten in tiny bites as a snack while drinking - it's a bit like Velveeta cheese that's been compressed until it's reached an incredibly dense state.

 Japan for Sustainability - Towerd a Century of Japanese Value
Awamori is a type of shochu, or locally distilled Japanese white liquor, made with long-grained Indica rice from Thailand fermented with black aspergillus yeast using unique Okinawan brewing and distilling methods.
The awamori shochu that is cradled in the landscape of Okinawa has very different characteristics from mainland shochu because of the varieties of rice and yeast peculiar to the region and the distinctive brewing and storage techniques practiced there.
Kuusu is awamori that has been left to age for many years, with every year making the brew more flavorful and smooth.

 The Sayonara Marines-Japan 1950s!
Awamori was meant to be aged, and aged for a long time.
The traditions and methods of Awamori originally came in from Thailand (although with influences from the south, from Indonesia and Taiwan, and from the north, from China and Korea it is said), and awamori was actually the very first distilled beverage in what is now Japan.
Modern times, laws, and consumer guidelines call for a bit more accuracy, and currently for a bottle of awamori to have kusu on the label, at least 51% of the contents must have been aged at least three years.

 All About Okinawa-Awamori
If you do decide to try awamori, make sure it's room temperature or colder (unlike sake which is served hot), dilute it with water and ice cubes, or try this recipe: Mix orange and lemon juice with Awamori, the add touch of grenadine for a drink called Sunset.
Awamori is said to have been introduced to Okinawa during the 14th-15th centuries.
It's a lot stronger and a tad smoother than the Japanese sake you may be used to, but Awamori still has a nice taste to it, all due to the careful distillation techniques used to make it.

It has the texture and taste of cheese.
The remaining thick beige koji grog (called nuta) is typically eaten by the women with their hot cooked rice.
Pack the mixture into a large glass jar (2-4 liters; wooden crocks used to be used) and leave it to ferment for 3-6 months.

 Chuko "Awamori" Process : Chuko Distillers Corporation
Some Awamori is stored for an extended time in earthenware pots or casks for more than three years to produce aged Awamori, "Kuusu".
"Awamori mold," black-koji mold of Okinawan origin, is sprinkled on steamed rice.
Moromi is transferred to a pot still and distilled two or three hours.

 Awamori-kan, sells rare, vintage Kusu - JapanUpdate.com
Awamori first came into existence on Okinawa when the distilling techniques of Thailand were refined to create Awamori and other liquors in Okinawa during the Golden Age of Trade.
If a brand of Awamori has a mixture of over 50% Kusu in it’s container, it can be designated as Kusu, so one brand may have a mixture of 51% Kusu and 49% modern awamori and still be classified as Kusu.
For centuries, Awamori, a local Okinawan liquor distilled from rice, has retained its place as the liquor most favored by Okinawans for all occasions.

Those bottles of Awamori would be suitable for entertaining guests, and as gift for celebrating birthday, celebrating wedding, celebrating new house, celebrating new baby, etc. Also, they will be good for your appreciarion.
Unglazed pottery is most suitable for keeping Awamori as the minerals in the bottle act as catalyst to promote the maturing of Awamori.
We developed these maturing bottles first time as brewery in Okinawa for achieving better quality of Awamori and better quality of aged spirits.

 [No title]
Along with familiar variations of awamori, with the island as their namesake, is the locally brewed but internationally famous hanazaki, or "flower liquor".
The delectable Donan hanazaki is derived from the first drops of raw, hand-brewed awamori and was once the sole reserve of the Ryukyu royalty.
The faded advertisement mural on the side of the building harkens to days only as far back as post-war Japan -- or at least 1958 when the distillery began producing Donan -- rather than the Ryukyu Kingdom of the 12th through 19th centuries.

awamori spores were inoculated into CM medium (5 g of malt extract per liter, 5 g of yeast extract per liter, 5 g of glucose per liter), and the cultures were grown at 30°C for 48 h in a rotary shaker at 300 rpm.
Thaumatin is an extremely sweet protein derived from the tropical plant Thaumatococcus daniellii ( 40).
awamori strains were transformed by the polyethylene glycol method ( 41).
