Shochu in Japan

Shochu is a clear distilled liquor and most commonly it's made with rice, sweet potatoes, buckwheat or raw sugar. And Shochu is usually bit cheaper than Sake, and we can enjoy Shochu with several ways to have it. Recently we can find several famous brand names of Shochu in the shops. And it makes Shochu be more popular. Actually, I started having a Shochu since it became famous.

The ways having a Shochu are straight, on the rocks, with hot water, with water, and it's similar to whisky. And the most unique and popular way is putting an Ume-Boshi and Shochu into our glass and then smashing it by our chopsticks. So we can enjoy a lot of the ways having a Shochu in Japan.
