Listen "Introducing Japanese Shochu (Ep. 2)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Japan Distilled podcast, your hosts Christopher Pellegrini and Stephen Lyman introduce you to the wonderful world of shochu, Japan's traditional craft spirit. Most people outside Japan think of sake as Japan's national drink and are more familiar with Japanese whisky, but shochu outsells sake and whisky in Japan. In fact, more shochu is made is Japan every year than tequila in Mexico. But what exactly is it? In this episode you'll find out. Theme Song: Begin Anywhere by Tomoko Miyata (http://tomokomiyata.net/) Mixing and Editing: Rich Pav (https://www.uncannyjapan.com/)
