Okinawan Snake Wine

Okinawan Snake Wine

I enjoyed watching, chasing, catching & taking photos of Ishigaki Island`s animals. I also had the chance to drink one of them!

This is `habushu`, which is made using awamori (a kind of rice whisky made in Okinawa), herbs, honey, & `habu` snake - similar to an American rattlesnake. I saw a bottle in the shop with a full snake inside, but it was expensive - 12,000yen ($120). This bottle only cost 750yen ($7.50).

It actually tasted pretty good. I was surprised.

I can feel an atmosphere from package design. 
How did it taste??

It was okay - strong but kind of sweet. It didn`t taste like normal awamori (which is good because I don`t like normal awamori).
