Japan

Just got back from a business trip to Japan. I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle of kokuto shochu (on the left) and a bottle of sake (on the right (to be served cold)) as gifts. The kokuto (black sugar] was a nice gift as it, along with imo shochu (sweet potato), are my favorites.

Oh wow, great presents. I haven't had sweet potato sake before, but I am keen to try it now I know it exists.

The imo (sweet potato) isn't sake - it's shochu, which is a distilled liquor. I drink it over ice. It's not real strong - maybe 50 to 75 proof. You can drink a lot of it

Try the shochu with a bit of lemonaide to make a chuhi. Great in the summer
