Ryukyu Awamori Market

Considered the finest kind of awamori, Okinawa's answer to sake and shochu, kusu (awamori aged for at least three years) will be the centre of attention at Daikanyama's T-Site over one January weekend. 11 distilleries will be serving up a total of around 50 varieties of the traditional sweet liquor, and here's the best part: tasting is free! Saturday will also see a talk on the topic and a shamisen performance, so head on over for a taste of the tropics in wintery Tokyo.
