When most people think of Japanese spirits, they often think of sake, but it is in fact shochu that is the national spirit of Japan. Outselling sake in Japan for the past decade, shochu is a clean, crisp white spirit that is rich in flavour that has been distilled and drunk in Japan since the 16th century. Iichiko, has been Japan’s best-selling shochu producer for the past 30 years or so, which makes sense as the word literally means “it is good”. Although shochu is unique among spirits in that it can be made from a variety of materials including rice, sweet potato or buckwheat, Iichiko made all their shochu from barley, which gives it rich malty notes. To find out more about the spirit and iichiko’s variations, we talk to Tetsuro Miyazaki, General Manager of iichiko USA about nature, taste and of course the cocktails you can make with their liquids.

Exploring the good of Shochu with Tetsuro Miyazaki from Iichiko

It’s been several years since we discussed the often confusing subject of Japan’s native spirit – Shochu! Today I welcome Tetsuro Miyazaki of iichiko Shochu and Lindy Wyss of Davos Brands to add to our knowledge base of Shochu culture, the importance of koji in the fermentation step of production, and how United States bartenders are helping to shape new Shochu products that are destined for cocktails.

Revisiting Shochu with Tetsuro Miyazaki & Lindy Wyss

On the Radiant Mix podcast this week, we feature Tetsuro Miyazaki, the Hāfu (half-Japanese, half-Belgian), photographer living in the Netherlands, who recently launched a gorgeous photography book, Hāfu2Hāfu, highlighting the mixed experience of half-Japanese people from all over the world. Hāfu is the Japanese term to refer to somebody who is biracial, while in America the nouveau term for biracial/multiracial is “mixed.” The label Hāfu derives comes from the English word ‘half,’ referring to half foreign and half Japanese. In this episode, Tetsuro Miyazaki shares about his inspiration for the Hāfu2Hāfu project, which offers us a glimpse inside the beauty and hearts of half Japanese people on a global scale.  Hope McGrath and Tetsuro both get real and open up while they challenge themselves to answer all kinds of insightful and fun questions about the mixed Hāfu experience that were posed in the Hāfu2Hāfu project.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:  Expand your mind and get inspired by insightful stories of the international Hāfu experience Tetsuro shares his learnings and experiences about the advantages, privileges, opportunities, difficulties, of belonging to two different societies The importance of highlighting the mixed-race perspective What is life like for biracial/Hāfu individuals in Japan, the Netherlands and throughout the world White privilege and the Hāfu life The power of belonging and freeing oneself from stereotypes and gratitude    Links: www.Hafu2Hafu.org Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @hafu2hafu
