It has a taste and aroma that has been passed down since ancient times, and a dry, rich, smoky, and powerful flavor that further pursues the individuality of Shirayuri.
It also won three awards at the globally prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2021: Best Shochu, Double Gold, and Best of Class.

Producer/Brewery ( Okinawa Prefecture/Ikehara Sake Brewery (Shirayuri) )

Founded in 1951, this small distillery produces awamori in an old house with a traditional red-tiled roof on Ishigaki Island. Its flagship brand is "Shirayuri." Aiming to create an enjoyable drink that combines "awamori and entertainment," they produce "Shirayuri," a very unique awamori in the awamori industry.

The distillery is unusual among today's Awamori distilleries in that it is committed to using only direct-fire kettle distillation, which is costly but produces a rich-tasting Awamori.The distillery also uses copper distilleries to produce high-quality Awamori, and has steadily refined the quality and individuality of the liquor, winning the highest gold award at a global competition in 2021.
