We’ve already declared 2022 as the Year of Awich™ and now she goes and becomes the Brand Director of an awamori drink? Yup, we kid you not. Awich is now tied to Habush, an alcoholic drink that’s made of awamori, habu extract, and 13 kinds of herbs according to the label on the bottle. Habushu is nothing new but that traditional drink normally includes an actual habu in the bottle which as far as we know cannot be taken outside of Okinawa or Japan. So since Habush doesn’t include a habu it’s okay. We leave you with this tidbit of information via Wikipedia (yeah, sad 🐍):
Alternatively, the snake may be put on ice until it passes out, at which point it is gutted, bled and sewn up. When the viper is thawed and awakens, it will quickly die in an aggressive striking manner, which is what most producers look for.
