Shochu/SojuJapanese shochu is typically distilled from sweet potato (imo), barley (mugi), rice (kome), buckwheat (soba) or sugarcane. Koji, a type of mold, is used in the fermentation process. For Korean soju, a fermentation starter called nuruk is used. Korean Soju is generally made from molasses, tapioca, or sweet potatoes but traditionally was made from rice. Both are distilled to ~25-37% ABV. Neither is typically aged, but can be.
Tasting Notes
"The nose is fruity and floral, with lychee, tropical fruit bubble gum, and roses, along with rice porridge and dandelions. The palate though is then grain-forward, with barley and cereal grains, as well as a grassy side with bay leaf, and also powdered sugar. The finish is soft and clean, with canned peaches, hay, soba noodles, and chrysanthemum bud. "
