…There are two types of awamori sake vessels: the chuukaa, which resembles a hisage, and the karakara. The former is called choka in Kagoshima Prefecture, the latter karakara in Kagoshima Prefecture, and gara in the Kumamoto region of Kumamoto Prefecture. In addition, rice shochu, potato shochu, and barley shochu on the mainland are all made using awamori mash as the yeast starter. …

From [Sakeware]

...In contrast, the kannabe, a simplified version of the choshi, was a vessel for directly heating sake placed over a fire. In Kyushu, shochu is often drunk warm, and in Kagoshima and Okinawa there is a clay pot-shaped vessel called choka, while in the Kuma region of Kumamoto Prefecture there is a flat fresco-shaped vessel called gara with a long spout, both of which are used over a direct fire. To carry sake or water at outdoor parties, bamboo or cylindrical vessels were used, and these were called sasae (small tube, bamboo tube) or suizutsu (a drinking tube)....
