Japanese Noted Foods   Muscovado Shochu  
 Report

The Muscovado shochu has not been drunk although heard these days. Since there was Muscovado shochu by a product exhibition by chance, if it is heard, it will say, "This is only Kagoshima." It says somehow, "The liquor manufacture which uses brown sugar as materials is accepted only in "Amami islands" by Liquor Tax Law (it treats favorably from the United States at the time of return)." There was such Liquor Tax Law. Possibly it is also awamori ...

The Muscovado shochu is the white distilled liquor which ferments brown sugar with rice malt and yeast, and builds it. Though a delicate sweet scent is set adrift, it is said that sugar is entire zero.



This is nice when it drinks. It is not a connoisseur so that the thing of white distilled liquor is told, but a nice thing is nice. As for a piece, having been made from brown sugar is not felt. It is decent, mellow and is free from vice. When the smell of barley shochu was smelled for comparison, the direction of barley shochu had released the strong smell.

If "A sweet scent drifts dimly" is said, it becomes such a mind, and nothing will be felt in sweet taste, if it drinks without knowledge. It is white distilled liquor with few scents.
