From left to right, Manabu Miyagawa, ambassador of Okinawan affairs, representative of the Government of Japan, Yuzuki Higa, U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Stephen E. Liszewski, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations Pacific, and Yuki Sakihara, the queen of awamori, pose for a group photo during an awamori tasting at the Habu Pit on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, June 10, 2023. Awamori is an alcoholic beverage made from a 600-year-old method of fermenting and distilling a mixture of water, black koji mold, rice, and yeast. The Okinawa Distillers Association provided awamori samples from 10 different distilleries for U.S. Marine leaders of MCIPAC in future hopes of raising its popularity within the United States.
