The Higa distillery was established in
1883 in the old town of Shuri, now
operating out of Itoman City in the south
of Okinawa Island. The Masahiro
Awamori Gallery is built on the first
floor of the distillery, where visitors
can sample and buy various kinds of
Awamori and see video footage of its
production. On the second floor is the
Awamori History Gallery, where visitors
will be treated to various Awamori tools,
liquor bottles from more than
500 years ago, pre and post-war photos of
the distillery, rare and precious
documents, and a wide-ranging Awamori
collection.
