Hello. I am the PR person in charge of the Matsumoto Ekimae branch of Rakuzo Utage.
Just like fashion and music, drinks have their own trends. When you think of the drinks everyone’s been talking about lately, what comes to mind? Some of you might be thinking of shochu soda. We also serve “shochu soda,” which has been gaining popularity for its great taste. Be sure to give it a try!

Shochu soda, as the name suggests, is a light drink made by mixing shochu with soda water. The crispness of the shochu and the fizzy sensation of the carbonation leave your mouth feeling refreshingly clean. It’s perfect with fish dishes and Japanese cuisine, of course, but we also recommend pairing it with rich, fatty dishes or those with bold flavors. Its versatility in pairing with food is the secret to Shochu Soda’s popularity.
Without compromising the authentic flavor of shochu, this product offers a lighter, more refreshing drinking experience. Shochu enthusiasts have praised it for providing “a new way to enjoy shochu,” saying it has opened up a whole new world of shochu for them.

The taste and aroma of shochu soda vary greatly depending on the brand of shochu used as the base. Popular brandsSeikou Udo XX Joy White + Soda’s “Chameleon Soda” has a fruity taste and feels like a stylish cocktail. The “W Soba Soda,” made with Amaterasu + Soda + buckwheat groats, is a refreshing drink that highlights the flavor of buckwheat. It pairs well with meals and is popular among people of all ages. You can get a medium-sized refill of “W Soba Soda,” so if you’d like a refill, please don’t hesitate to ask a staff member.
We offer a wide variety of shochu sodas in different styles. Try comparing them to find your favorite.
