About this food

Wiki

Shōchū is a distilled beverage native to Japan. It is most commonly distilled from barley, sweet potatoes, or rice. Typically, it contains 25% alcohol by volume (weaker than whisky or standard-strength vodka but stronger than wine and sake).

Shōchū is produced everywhere in Japan, yet the home of shochu is Kyūshū island.
