I heard that mixing #shochu with water and chopped #cucumber, then letting it sit overnight, helps prevent unpleasant hangovers. 🥒

Cucumber has diuretic properties and helps regulate body temperature, so maybe I should make it a habit for overall well-being.

　
#焼酎に適量の水と刻んだ #キュウリを混ぜて、ひと晩寝かせてから飲むと悪酔いしないとききました🥒

確かにキュウリは利尿作用や体温を下げる効果があるので、体調管理にキュウリを食べる習慣をつけようかな

Art featuring a kappa holding a basket full of cucumbers against the backdrop of a cool early summer evening (a sophisticated atmosphere that seems to shine quietly), a minimalist design with cucumbers and a single kappa as the main focus. The kappa, a Japanese monster, has a plate on top of its head, creating a humorous design (feminine & stylish).

The glass is a shot glass, and crushed ice and cucumbers are poured into it along with the clear liquid. A small kappa wearing a red and white striped life jacket is swimming in the glass, creating a cool atmosphere.

This shochu from Nagasaki is pretty darn good.

Back in Tokyo after a long weekend in Nagasaki prefecture visiting Nagasaki, Sasebo, Huis Ten Bosch and Gotō.
Purchased large quantities of chocolate, castella and Shochu, the first deliveries of which arrived today. Another delivery due on Thursday.

Sip sip hooray! Despite ongoing general decline, 2024 gave sake professionals reason to cheer growing interest in the traditional beverage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2024/12/15/food-drink/2024-in-review-sake-shochu/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #2024inreview #sake #shochu #awamori

Today I want to introduce you to a spirit you probably haven't heard of so far. It's a type of Japanese Shochu, which is known somewhat internationally. This one, however, is a rare kind: It's Kokuto Shochu, made from brown sugar and almost exclusively produced on the Amami islands off the coast of Kagoshima in Japan.

"Wait, sugar....isnt that rum?", you might ask. The answer is: kind of, but the details matter. While rum is made from sugar cane juice or molasses with baker yeast, Kokuto Shochu is made from brown sugar, water and koji yeast - the one used for shochu or other fermented products in Japan. This gives it a very special flavor, akin to rum, but way more mellow! Unfortunately, it is not too abundant outside of Japan (and the good brands are usually sold within the country). However, if you get your hands on one of those, it's worth trying!

Here's a small cocktail you can make with it, I call it a KB-Quiri.

2 oz Kokuto Shochu
0.5 oz Banane du Bresil Liqueur
0.75 oz Lime Juice

Shake on ice, strain into a coup and enjoy!

I return from my walk through the old growth cedar forest of Yakushima. I review the day’s MLB box scores. I see that the Rockies gave up 7 runs to the Dodgers in the top of the 9th to squander a 9-4 lead and lose 11-9. I drink lots of local Shochu.

I bought my first ever bottle of Shōchū.

I LOVE IT!

Of course I had to know more and I did my homework.

Have a good Sunday.

Sketchnote of Yayoi Araroka Kokuto Shōchū, a Japanese distilled beverage with 25% alcohol. It is made from rice, barley, black sugar, white koji (a mold used for saccharification), and sugarcane. Produced in Amami Ōshima, Japan, a volcanic island inscribed in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2021. The island's sugarcane cultivation began over 500 years ago and became its main crop in the mid-18th century. The naturally hardened drinking water of the island contributes to the shōchū's flavor. The sketchnote includes illustrations of ingredients, the island, and the product bottle.

Back from Kagoshima, 焼酎天国. Enjoying Meijiguragenahu, a sweet potato shochu only available at the Satsuma Shuzo Shochu distillery in Makurazaki. It’s 74 proof shochu that you put in the freezer and drink neat. I drank this from the cut glass I bought at Senganen. #Kagoshima #shochu #senganen

Some of the nation’s alcohol makers are backing away from the lucrative sector of high-octane, ready-to-drink cocktails. Is the end of the Strong Zero nigh? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/03/10/japan/japan-alcoholic-drinks/ #commentary #japan #chhai #shochu #alcohol #beer #health #strongzero

Photography. A color photo of a gray Persian cat with a Japanese bottle of Shōchū. The Persian cat is sitting upright like a human with its legs stretched out on a wooden tabletop, next to the bottle and the filled glass. It has one paw on its belly and is looking around, which looks quite funny. It looks like she's had a night out. (It is dark around the table).
Info:
Shochu is a traditional Japanese distilled drink made from a variety of products, such as rice, wheat, chestnuts, potatoes, etc. The alcohol content is around 25 percent.

Those three where the bomb. The other two were good too. But those where the top ones #Shochu #焼酎

I grabbed a bottle of Tousui Nakanaka aged barley shochu for autumn drinking. I think it was a good idea. Rich, complex, sweet and bitter like dark chocolate.

A bottle of Japanese shochu with a brown label. to the right is a ceramic cup with thick blue and black glaze on the upper half.

I have no idea if this is any good, but I like the artwork. I guess it’s kaiju shochu? Crab man looks like he means business.

I was a guest on Japan Distilled podcast and waxed nerdy on an unusual type of shochu, Sanaburi kasutori #shochu.
Give it a listen. It was a fun talk!
