This is a limited edition vintage awamori sake and umeshu tasting set, guaranteed by a numbered warranty card and featuring 15-year vintage sake from Sakiyama brewery, a unique liquor recognized worldwide. This Okinawan treasure is not even in stock at the brewery, but you can enjoy the regional flavors of aged Ryukyu products with this box!The Awamori exudes the sweetness of Yamashimizu, the particular water chosen to wash and soak the rice. The houjun (a word referring to the elegance of nihonshu) fragrance and rounded sweetness of this awamori makes for an inbibement so easy to drink, that it is hard to believe this bottle is 88 proof. 

The rich flavor of this umeshu finely compliments its awamori partner and creates an air of luxury thanks to its balance of sweet and sour notes.

Awamori brewing traditions and techniques have been developed and refined since its invention in Shuri Akada in 1905. 70 years ago, In 1946, Sakiyama put down roots in the area and developed its own ultimate technique. Sakiyama's method, dedication to "three-day-koji", and careful attention to yeast encounter the area's blessing of natural mountain water to create delicious Awamori that continues to evolve. The warm encouragement of staff and customers, connected by a dream to develop ever-improving awamori, is key to their success.
