Listen "Shochu"
Episode Synopsis
We like to get esoteric on Barrel to Bottle, but this might be our most esoteric topic yet: Shochu (not to be confused with Soju). What is it, how is it made, what does it taste like and what do you do with it? This week we welcome Jay, Binny's resident Shochu expert/enthusiast, to answer these questions. He's here to guide us through Shochu 101, sampling Shochus from four different styles.
