Shochu All About | Rakuzo Nippori

Hello, I am the PR person in charge of Rakuzo Nippori store.

 

There are many kinds of shochu in one word.
I kind of think they are talking about raw materials... but what the heck is the difference?
Many of you may be thinking.
This time, we would like to talk a little about shochu for those who are interested.

 

Types of Shochu

Shochu is broadly classified as "Kou-tsu and Otsu," and Otsu is further classified into "rice, barley, sweet potato, brown sugar, buckwheat, etc." of raw materials.
There are various detailed regulations, but it is safe to say that Class A is light and free of peculiarities, while Class B has a strong character of its ingredients. Class A is light and free from peculiarities, while Class B has a strong character of its ingredients.
This is due to the difference in distillation methods, but there are also some Kou classics that have been modified to give them their own unique characteristics.
Roughly speaking, Otsu is on the menu as "shochu.
All sake breweries and manufacturers' websites that list "single distillation" are classified as "B".
Kou-type shochu is actually drunk more often, but Kou-type shochu is often used as the base for soju and pickled plum wine.

 

Difference in Taste

Here is a brief introduction to the six types of shochu we carry.

Sweetpotato...Characterized by its rich and distinctive aroma, it has a strong peculiar taste and can be liked or disliked by different people.
Rice - fruity flavor, slightly thick, close to sake, easy to drink.
Wheat...A less peculiar and easy-to-drink type that is acceptable to all people.
Brown Sugar...Clear taste with few peculiarities, not sweet but easy to drink with a brown sugar aroma.
Awamori ... Both the aroma and taste are peculiar, and although people can choose their favorite, it is an easy to accept category.
Shiso...Characterized by a refreshing taste without any peculiarities and the aroma of shiso passing through the nostrils.

It's a strong drink, so it's not for everyone, but once you get into it, it's the only way to go! But once you get into it, it's the only way to go!
The same type of shochu has a completely different taste depending on the brand, so how about comparing shochu with our shochu?
