Goto Mugi Shochu
About 100 kilometers west of mainland Kyushu, there is an indispensable drink on the dining tables of the Goto Islands, which float in the East China Sea. That is the barley shochu produced on the islands. Using the clear water unique to remote islands and barley, it is slowly brewed amidst the island climate where you can feel the sea breeze. Valuing simplicity over flamboyance, its crisp yet powerful flavor has long accompanied the lives of the islanders, including fishermen. Enjoy a glass of this barley shochu while eating the famous Goto Udon prepared with 'Jigoku-daki'—where noodles dance in plenty of boiling water. That is the island way of enjoyment. Please savor it leisurely on the rocks or with hot water while reflecting on the peaceful island time.
