Shochu you say? Yes, shochu I say. For those wondering, shochu is a traditional Japanese spirit that when distilled in the honkaku style retains a remarkable amount of flavor and aroma from its base material. Anything from barley, rice, sugar, sweet potato, and a few other oddball ingredients can be used to make this fascinating spirit that clocks in between 20% and 40% abv (generally).
For the second year in a row we’ll be welcoming Honkaku Spirits company found Christopher Pellegrini to present a series of Japanese Shochu essentially unknown to the United States only a few years ago. He’ll guide us through the process, food pairings, and serving styles of this artisanal spirit.
