Having Joy with Awamori
Medicinal Liqueurs
`Eat well, live well'

The idea introduced from China that your health is closely connected to your daily dietary habits is still alive in Okinawa. Certain plants available locally have traditionally been used to cure a variety of sicknesses in Okinawa. Herbs are a typical example. Okinawan people make 'medicinal liqueurs' by soaking herbs in awamori and consume them in everyday life. In fact, they are protecting themselves from various common diseases without even realizing it.
We would like to introduce how to make a medicinal liqueur called Nuchi-gusui, meaning 'medicine for life', which is a secret kind of beverage that helps Okinawans to live long and healthy lives.
