Shochu that goes with mugicha (barley tea)
Tea and coffee
Cold, unsweetened barley tea. Every Japanese fridge has a pitcher in summer. Mix one to three over ice.
Ranked over every bottle in the catalogue, with the reason each one is here. The reasoning is the same engine that recommends a mixer from a bottle, run the other way round, so the two never contradict each other.
