Shochu is a Japanese distilled spirit made typically from barley, sweet potato, or as in our case, sugarcane.
Shochu is single-distilled, retaining all the natural flavors and aromas of the ingredients. Other spirits are distilled at least twice, losing flavor with each pass.
In Japan, shochu as a category outsells sake by double because it has no sugar, carbs, or gluten. It also has roughly 50% fewer calories than sake and 70% fewer calories than vodka.
