Are You Ready for Shochu?

First it was Cachaca, the Brazilian liquor made from the distillation of fermented sugarcane juice,that began to attract attention internationally. Perhaps because it has a alcohol strength of between 38%-48% and is the basis for the famous Caipirinha, the national drink of Brazil.

Now, keeping with the current culinary craze for all things Asian, comes Shochu. This is a trendy new Japanese liquor that’s catching on in the big culinary centers of the US. Available at most Twin Liquors.
