Background

Shochu is another indigenous Japanese alcoholic drink alongside sake and umeshu. Unlike sake it is distilled, not brewed, with the alcohol level usually between 25-45%. Its popularity is highest in southern Japan where the weather is considerably warmer and suits the distillation process best. Shochu can be made from sweet potato, rice, buckwheat or barley, each of which gives a very distinct flavour and aroma much like the varying tastes of scotch whiskey.

Drink like whiskey or in a cocktail.
• Straight or on the rocks.
• Mix with ice and soda water.
