SHOCHU and Water

You may enjoy the soft aroma and mild taste on the rocks. Pour SHOCHU into a glass and add cold water as you like. If you would like the original authentic SHOCHU taste, we would like to suggest you sip with no ice.

On the rocks

The moment you pour SHOCHU into a glass, it has a bold taste. As time passes and the temperature lowers, it will become smoother.We would like to suggest using large ice cubes so you may enjoy the flavor change as alcohol contents get lower.

SHOCHU and Soda

Put ice in a glass and pour SHOCHU, then add carbonated water slowly so it won't go flat and stir a few times. Accompanied with citrus makes it even more refreshing and smooth going down. Enjoy the full bodied SHOCHU taste.

MAEWARI, once already-diluted

Mix SHOCHU with water in advance and let it sit, it is called "MAEWARI". SHOCHU and water blended well lowers its alcohol content modestly and it goes d own s moothly. Enjoy it COLD in summer and HOT inwinter. Please make sure the water is not too hot since it reduces the aroma and flavor.

Drink SHOCHU COLD

Pour well-chilled SHOCHU into a small glass so the flavor and aroma won’t escape. Chilling SHOCHU makes a crisp taste. Create a cool atmosphere by using your favorite glass.

SHOCHU has a powerful taste and a roma an d it is great for cocktails. A perfect match with citrus flavor. You can easily blend with Ginger Ale or tonic water at home. The more powerful the flavor is, the more it shows its originality an d you c an e njoy each stage of flavor.

SHOCHU with HOT water

People drink SHOCHU often with hot water and it may be the most popular way of drinking it in KYUSHU. Pour hot water into a glass and add SHOCHU slowly. In order to maximize its flavor, we recommend hot water at a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius, not boiling water. After pouring the SHOCHU, do not stir. Please enjoy the process of SHOCHU blended with hot water. The rich flavor of the ingredients will be spread out in the risingsteam.
It is said that the ratio between SHOCHU and hot water should be “6:4”,“5:5”, “4:6”. If you like a rich and mellow flavor, we recommend more SHOCHU than hot water “6:4”. Drinking with a meal, “5:5”. If you want the SHOCHU aroma or don’t drink a lot alcoholic beverages, we recommend starting with “4:6” and adjust it as you like.

With Vanilla Ice Cream

When you pour SHOCHU over vanilla ice cream, it turns into a delicious luxury dessert with a light sweetness. Our recommendation is to have ice cream with a light vanilla aroma.

With Chocolate Ice Cream

Chocolate ice cream and barley SHOCHU is a perfect match! Accompanied with SHOCHU marinated nuts and dried fruits, it is a perfect dessert for adults.

With Sherbet

Drop sherbet onto SHOCHU. It is such a refreshing dessert. Instead of ice cubes, dropping in round shaped sherbet is exquisite.

Pickles

Marinate vegetables with SHOCHU instead of white wine. It will create unique and aromatic Japanese pickles. Pickling vegetables in season will make for happy times and a perfect snack with alcoholic beverages.
