Hidden in the forest in Tenniya district, Nago, there is a shop named Mansouan (蔓草庵). Seibin-san, who is a former-director of the museum of Nago-city, built the shop literally by himself. Inside the shop is a HUGE collection of bottles of awamori, the Okinawan traditional rice liquor.
Home-aged awamori, called ku-su (古酒), is a traditional way to enjoy awamori long term and people "grow" awamori home in the vase for years and years and from generation to generation, with a specific manner. Seibin-san is an expert of the technique, and organizes workshops to share his knowledge of the art of aging awamori.
