Japanese Shochu
Shōchū (Japanese: 焼酎) is a Japanese distilled beverage. It is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar, though it is sometimes produced from other ingredients such as chestnut, sesame seeds, potatoes, or even carrots.
The word shōchū (焼酎) is the Japanese rendition of the Chinese shaojiu (燒酒), meaning "burned liquor", which refers to the heating process during distillation.[2] The Chinese way of writing shaojiu with the character 酒 means sake in modern Japanese, which writes shōchū using the character 酎 instead. Nevertheless, both characters mean "liquor".
