My friend dropped in at my hospital with gifts today. She did a three day trip to Okinawa. Okinawa had a miserable history in World War Two, but now it has become one of the popular sightseeing places in Japan.
The gift is the famous distilled spirit, Awamori. I like it. You can see the bottle and the package in the picture and one other thing, the small bottle on the left. What is it? It is written on the label that Okinawa-produced peppers are pickled in Awamori. In short, pickled peppers from Awamori.
In this case we eat peppers based on common sense, but the label says "Sprinkle this on noodles, like soba, ramen,,,. Wow! We eat Awamori, not peppers. What will it taste like?
