Iichiko Shochu Silhouette 750ml
It's tempting to think of Shochu-- a spirit exploding in popularity particularly amongst the cocktail set-- as just a higher proof version of sake. But they are different: sake is brewed (like beer) from rice & shochu is distilled from sweet potatoes or better yet, from barley, like Iichiko, the super-smooth version from Oita Prefecture in Kyushu.
