Yumekoukai
$88.00
🌊 A voyage of flavor, rooted in Ryukyu tradition 🍶
Since its debut in 1983, Yumekoukai from Chuko Shuzo has been a beloved local awamori. Honored with the 2025 IWSC Silver Medal, this spirit showcases a pioneering production method that brings out a fresh, fruity aroma reminiscent of crisp green apples. Smooth and approachable, it’s an excellent choice even for those new to awamori.
The bottle design, created in collaboration with DOKUTOKU460.inc, draws inspiration from the tribute ships of the Ryukyu Kingdom era. Just as these ships once braved uncharted seas to connect cultures, Yumekoukai symbolizes courage, wisdom, and dreams for the future—an invitation to set sail on your own flavorful journey.
