Okinawa is a traditional liqueur from the subtropical region of Japan - Okinawa. Fresh juice from Shikuwasa, Okinawa's lemon, is blended with fructose syrup to create a smooth and aromatic product. Shikuwasa has been consumed by the local population for many years. Due to its health benefits and importance in Okinawan culinary culture, it is widely recognized that this fruit is a major contributor to the legendary longevity of the islanders. It is very popular in Asia for its taste, which is very distinct from other types of lemons. Shikuwasa can be found everywhere on the island, even in the gardens of village houses, but Shikuwasa juice is difficult to find outside Okinawa. To be enjoyed with an ice cube, tonic or as a base for a cocktail.
