Product information "Mizuho Mild Awamori - 720ml"
Mizuho Mild Awamori (25% ABV) has been awarded multiple silver medals at the Monde Selection international tasting competition. It presents a refreshing aroma, with a taste that is rich, mild, and full-bodied.
The Awamori is matured in Tenryugura, the largest underground storage tank in Okinawa Prefecture, and produced using the Shitsugi technique of blending, a method handed down at Mizuho since its founding. This process highlights depth and richness, balanced by a light sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish.
Founded in 1848 in Shuri during the reign of King Shō Tai, Mizuho Shuzo is the oldest surviving brewery within the Shuri Sanka districts. Closely tied to the Ryukyu royal family, it continues to protect the heritage of Ryukyu Awamori while remaining rooted in the history and culture of Shuri.

Founded in 1848, during the first year of the Kaei era, Mizuho Shuzo was established in the ancient city of Shuri, at the time when King Shō Tai sat on the throne of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Its history has been closely intertwined with the royal family, nurturing a tradition that continues to this day.
Awamori from Mizuho Shuzo represents the heritage of Ryukyu Awamori, a spirit once regarded as a precious sake, produced exclusively in the three districts surrounding Shuri Castle (Shuri Sanka). Among these three, Mizuho Shuzo holds a unique place as the oldest surviving brewery, originally founded in Toribori-chō.
Today, the brewery carries forward this legacy, safeguarding the craftsmanship of Awamori while remaining deeply rooted in the history and culture of Shuri.
