Located just outside the Okinawan capital of Naha, they have pioneered a reintroduction of kame clay pots for aging, reviving traditional Okinawan pottery and making the aging vessels themselves. They have also created the Shitsugi method, where younger Awamori is blended into a series of older pots, similar to the solera method in sherry.

About Chuko Distillery
Chuko Distillery was originally named Tomigusuku Distillery and founded by Chuko Oshiro in Tomigusuku city located next to Naha city in 1949. Later in 1980, we reorganized our company and changed our name to Chuko Distillery. With a basic concept of "Succession and Creation of Awamori Culture", we have worked hard and pursued a new possibility of Awamori. Our mottoes are "Learn, Listen, Create, and Challenge". In 1989, we invented a pottery suitable for Awamori maturation, which is called Chuko Original Kiln Fired Pottery. When we learned that the Southeast Asian Pottery was suitable for Awamori maturation, Shigeru Oshiro, the former president and incumbent chairman, conducted a research and spun a potter's wheel himself hoping to create a modern Awamori culture for Okinawa. By learning from the culture of our past when we had Ryukyu Kingdom, our goal is to create a new Okinawa value which we can be proud of in this modern society through this Awamori culture.
