The history of awamori predates shochu, as the drink was created in the Ryukyu Kingdom (modern day Okinawa) in the 15th century with the discovery of distillation on the islands. Located in the farthest southern reaches of Japan in the East China Sea, the 160 islands of Ryukyu became Okinawa as an annex of Japan in the late 1800s. During WWII, all awamori was destroyed in the bloody Battle of Okinawa; since then, 47 distilleries today are keeping the tradition alive by making what is designated as Ryukyu Awamori.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT: \u003c\/strong\u003eAwamori Bazaar with Nick Korn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAwamori Specialist Korn takes us through the history of awamori and demonstrates how to make cocktails using \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/taragawa-awamori-btl-25-oz\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/taragawa-awamori-btl-25-oz\"\u003eTaragawa Awamori\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHEN: \u003c\/strong\u003eWednesday, July 21, 5:30pm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHERE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zoomworld\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADMISSION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free entry for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/collections\/sake-and-shochu-gumi\"\u003eSake + Shochu Gumi\u003c\/a\u003e members and customers who purchase any \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/collections\/awamori\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/collections\/awamori\"\u003eawamori\u003c\/a\u003e (we recommend \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/taragawa-awamori-btl-25-oz\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/taragawa-awamori-btl-25-oz\"\u003eTaragawa Awamori\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003cbr\u003eWe'll email you with the Zoom info after you make the purchase! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere's what you need to do: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Purchase \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eany \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/collections\/awamori\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/collections\/awamori\"\u003eawamori\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e (w\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ee recommend \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/taragawa-awamori-btl-25-oz\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/umamimart.life\/products\/taragawa-awamori-btl-25-oz\"\u003eTaragawa Awamori\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.
