One More Japanese Alcohol Sho-Chu -top of page- Alcohol % / Glass
Sho-Chu should not be confused with sake, brewed rice wine. Its taste is usually far less fruity and depends strongly on the nature of the starach used in the brewing process. Its flavour is often described as "nutty" or "earthy".
Sho-Chu Kourui / Japan
It is generally distilled from a fermented liquid similar to molasses / repeated distillation forms ethylalcohol of high purity which is typically odourless and has a taste of little distinction. Water is then added and the precise nature of the water has subtle effects on the taste and palatability of the sho-chu.
15% / $6.00
Potato Sho-Chu / IMO
Potato Sho-Chu uses sweet potato, widely cultivated southern kyushu since the edo period, as its base ingredient. Originally it was almost exclusively produced in Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, but nowadays is made across Japan using locally-grown sweet potatoes. It tends to have a strong taste and a distinctive smell, sharply dividing into those who do and dont like it. More recently producers have made varieties whose aroma is somewhat suppressed.
15% / $7.00
Barley Sho-Chu / MUGI
Barley Sho-Chu is generally less distinctive than rice sho-chu and easy to drink. However if cask-aged the taste can be quite sharp and strong reminiscent of single-malt whisky.
15% / $7.00
Sho-Chu is drunk in many ways according to season or personal taste.
* Sraight
* On The Rocks
* Diluted with water
* Diluted with hot water, a drink called Oyu-Wari
* Mixed with Oolong tea or fruit juice
* As Chu-Hai, a mixed drink consisting of sho-chu, soda, ice and some flavouring, often lemon, grapefruit, apple or ume, mixed with a low-alcohol beer-flavoured beverage known as happy; this mixture is also referred to as happy.
