Straight

 

Premium brand SHOCHU can very well be enjoyed straight. However, alternating back-and-forth between it and a separate glass of water at its side will help maintain the SHOCHU aroma in the nose and the pallets. This is called "Iyashi Mizu" or "Healing Water".

 

On the Rocks

 

Large pieces of semi-crushed ice mixed with a generous pour of your favorite SHOCHU. Try it with a slice of lime or lemon.
