<p>Awamori is a traditional spirit from Okinawa with a history of over 500 years, yet it remains little known outside Japan. In this episode of Sake on Air, Miho interviews two Okinawa-based drinks professionals, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madoka_numata" title="">Madoka Numata</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bluehabu" title="">Maurice Dudley</a>. They talk about about places visitors can explore in Okinawa—particularly in the capital city of Naha—to taste, learn about, and experience awamori, along with its rich culture and history.</p> <p>As always, if you have questions or comments, please do share them with us at [email protected] or send us a message on our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sakeonair/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sakeonair/">Facebook,</a> or <a href="https://sakeonair.substack.com/">Substack</a>!</p> <p>We’ll be back very soon with plenty more Sake On Air.</p> <p>Until then, <em>kampai</em>! </p> <p>Sake On Air is made possible with the generous support of the <a href="http://www.japansake.or.jp/sake/english/about.html">Japan Sake &#38; Shochu Makers Association</a> and is broadcast from the <a href="http://www.japansake.or.jp/sake/english/">Japan Sake &#38; Shochu Information Center in Tokyo</a>.
