[Okinawa, Kouri Island] Amidst Declining Awamori Shipments, One Suite THE TERRACE Launches Tasting Corner for Guests to "Experience Awamori with Okinawan Food Culture"

One Suite THE TERRACE, a hotel on Kouri Island operated by One Suite LLC, has set up an "Awamori Tasting Corner" for its guests to promote the appeal and spread of Awamori, Okinawa's traditional liquor. In recent years, the Awamori industry has faced challenges such as declining shipment volumes, creating a need to preserve its culture and find new ways to showcase its charm. In response, the hotel aims to provide an opportunity for guests to feel closer to Awamori through their stay. Guests can compare carefully selected Awamori from various distilleries across the prefecture. The hotel also proposes ways to enjoy it with meals, such as with water for shabu-shabu, on the rocks for sukiyaki, or with soda for a BBQ, offering a unique experience of "savoring Awamori with Okinawan food culture."
