Shochu
<p>Shōchū is a distilled alcohol that appeared in Japan around the 16th century, on Kyushu Island. There are records that Shōchū was produced in Kagoshima in the 16th century, so it is likely that it gradually spread throughout Japan via Miyazaki and the Kuma area, finding its way into various regions as a local specialty. It is now produced all over Japan. It can be made with rice, barley, buckwheat, sweet potato, herbs, black sugar, sake cake...</p> <p>Source : Japan Sake and Shōchū Maker Association</p>
