One of the best-kept secrets in Japan is their native distilled spirit called shochu, which has been taking the U.S. and 24 NYC Japanese restaurants by storm. The participating restaurants will showcase their individual flavor for Shochu Month by incorporating shochu from different Japanese regionalities and ingredients into a special, limited-time menu unique to their venue. Those curious to experience Shochu Month can visit any of the below locations from Jan 30 – March 11 to taste shochu. Artisanal craft shochu distillers from Japan are coming to visit these NYC restaurants to pour shochu for you and explain over 500 years of shochu history! Don’t miss out!
