About Shochu

Shochu is a pure, clean, and expressive spirit that makes use of a variety of traditional ingredients from Japan's long history to create an appealing range of aromas and tastes. Shochu is typically made from sweet potatoes, barley, rice, or black sugar, and though each type of Shochu has a distinct flavor depending on its base ingredient, the general taste is often described as nutty or earthy, with an ABV of around 25%. Shochu can be difficult to categorize compared to other spirits due to the wide range between all the different varieties, but the more understanding about the properties of each base ingredient, the greater the potential for enjoyment. Additional details can be found here.

Signature Cocktail: Shochu Highball

The Shochu Highball is one of the best ways to savor the rich aroma and flavor of Shochu. It can be made with very simple ingredients: Shochu, sparkling water, ice, and fresh fruits, such as citrus. The many varieties of Shochu itself, each with a different flavor, make it so that a simple cocktail is ideal for fully appreciating the variations between them. The Shochu Highball is refreshing, with a clear aftertaste that retains the full flavor of the base spirit, and goes well with many different fruits and other ingredients. Shochu Highballs are perfect for Shochu beginners, and since they're made with sparkling water, they can be enjoyed casually, for instance on weeknights when a lighter drink is preferred.
