Rượu shochu Nhật Satsuma Kojika 720ml

Cocktail lovers take note. If you are in the mood to experiment with something different why not look to the Japanese for inspiration? Not to be confused with ubiquitous rice wine sake, sho-chu- (or simply shochu) is fast becoming Japan’s tipple of choice amongst the young and upwardly mobile; a change from its previous associations as a drink reserved for the older generation.

Thanks to stealthy marketing and increased awareness on the benefits of shochu, this beverage has seen its popularity soar internationally and we at LifeAndStyle think it’s about time we found out a little more about shochu.

Why Shochu?
