Sake is the traditional rice wine of Japan. It comes in several different varieties, and was first made at least 2,000 years ago. Since then, sake has played an important role in Japanese culture and history. From its origins as the “Drink of the Gods” to its current status as one of the most popular drinks in the country, the history of sake is steeped in tradition, innovation, and custom.

Shochu, pronounced “show-chew”, is a colorless Japanese spirit made from high starch grains and vegetables such as rice, millet, barley, buckwheat, molasses, corn and sweet potatoes. When scripted in Japanese characters, its literal translation is “burned spirit”, which indicates shochu’s high level of potency as an alcoholic beverage.
