Rice shochu is what happens when you distil something very close to sake. It carries the same apple and melon aromatics, which makes it the shochu that behaves most like a white spirit in a stirred drink.

Counted from this catalogue, not from the category in general. It describes the bottles we have found records for, which is a narrower thing than what Japan makes.
Tasted at Juraku
We have these open at the bar, so the notes below come from the glass rather than from a listing.
The rest of the catalogue
Each profile is built from the notes the producer or importer publishes, and each page names its source.
