Questions about Kana Honkaku Shochu Sugar Rice Distilled Spirits 60 Proof NV
- What is Kana Honkaku Shochu made from?
- Kana is a honkaku shochu made with brown sugar and rice koji. Brown-sugar shochu is a specialty of Japan's Amami Islands, and its flavor is generally fragrant and lightly sweet rather than heavy or syrupy.
- How is Kana shochu different from vodka?
- Kana retains character from its brown sugar and rice-koji base, while vodka is usually distilled to a more neutral profile. This 60-proof shochu is lower in alcohol than standard 80-proof vodka and often gentler in a mixed drink.
- How should I drink Kana Honkaku Shochu?
- Kana works chilled, over ice, or lengthened with cold water or soda. The brown-sugar and rice-koji base also makes it a good partner for citrus, ginger and light Japanese dishes.
