Mizu Lemongrass Shochu may not be an authentic honkaku shochu due to the use of lemongrass, but this is a case where a beautiful spirit breaks the rules.
Join Stephen Lyman for a conversation with Jesse Falowitz of Mizu Shochu on his journey from marketing manager for a multinational agency to entrepreneur with the first and most successful export-only shochu brand in the U.S.
Stephen and Christopher give an update on the Kyushu flooding, introduce TeaCult (a tea start-up in Fukuoka), and geek out over one of our favorite aromatic shochu brands, Mizu Shochu, featuring both their Green Tea and Lemongrass products.
