Shochu Mix Up

Although lesser known amongst Japanese alcoholic beverages, shochu is actually the most consumed spirit in the country. It’s a clear liquor distilled predominantly from potato, rice, barley or soba. At this one-day-only event in Ginza, you’ll get more than just a crash course on shochu – learn about the different varieties and explore their potential in cocktails. Yuzo Nagumo, a leading local mixologist, joins the festival to promote the wonders of shochu through creative cocktails. All shochu at the event comes from Miyazaki prefecture, a region famed for its sake production and drinking culture.
