Etymology
[edit]Originally a compound of 粟 (awa, “millet”) + 盛り (mori, “lots of, pile of, ample portion of”). Awamori was originally made primarily from millet.[1]
The current spelling using 泡 (“bubble”) for the awa portion is an example of ateji (当て字), possibly reflecting the change in ingredients from millet to rice.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Tokyo) あわもり [àwáꜜmòrì] (Nakadaka – [2])[2]
- (Tokyo) あわもり [àwámórí] (Heiban – [0])[2]
- IPA(key): [a̠β̞a̠mo̞ɾʲi]
Noun

- Awamori can be said to have the following four major traits. 1. Uses rice as the main ingredient. 2. Uses black kōji [Aspergillus niger]. 3. All ingredients are prepared at once. 4. Distilled by simple distillation.
