Shochu that goes with wasabi
Spice and warmth
A rice-grain amount, dissolved. For the savory, cucumber glass, not the fruit one.
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.
