from Shift Drink · host Shift Drink

While Erik Zmara of Takara visits Indianapolis to give a seminar with Arthur, we asked him to come on the show to explain the national spirit of Japan – Shochu. There is a serious lack of good, English language information out there so let this be your entry into the beautiful world of Shochu. Kanpai! For more information about shochu, check out our Shochu Addendum.
