A Deeper Dive Into the World of Okinawan Liquor
LIQUID THE STORE opens up a whole new world of beverages, showing that there is more to the Okinawan drinking culture than Awamori.
The interior is unique and reminiscent of a laboratory.
If you are looking to buy anything that is drinkable to bring home as a souvenir, look no further than LIQUID THE STORE.
Conveniently located in downtown Naha, this shop impresses due to its owner’s carefully chosen selection of high-quality local spirits, wines, and beers.
For non-alcoholic options, there are various local teas available.
Combine that with the minimalistic interior and you have a shop that exemplifies Naha’s urbanity and burgeoning drinking culture—one that goes beyond the classic Awamori to include a diverse lineup to suit modern tastes.
The store features a large variety of alcoholic beverages including natural wine, spirits, and liqueurs, from Okinawa and beyond.

Okinawan craft gin using lemon, called “O LEMON GIN.”
The store also features a homemade ham and sausage specialty store.
