I don't know how to ask this...

I don't know how to ask this question without offending anyone. I have seen in Internet the existence of a bottle of something. Unfortunately the name of it is kinda hard to say... まんX (I am sure who know Japanese will recognize this word).
Well, my question is what is that drink? Alcoholic? A beer? Sake? Some kind of juice? Or what else?

What is a shochu?

Shōchū - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

Shōchū (焼酎, Shōchū?) is an alcoholic beverage of Japan, most commonly distilled from barley, sweet potato or rice. Typically it is 25% alcohol by volume, making it weaker than whisky, but stronger than wine and sake.

Shōchū is produced everywhere in Japan, yet the home of shochu is Kyūshū island.

That explain why I couldn't find it on my dictionary. It is shouchou and not shocho hee hee.

Thank you very much for the explaination, I appreciate.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, since it is one of my more frequent indulgences, after humeshu. However, it wasn't until recently that I discovered the Japanese version. I was introduced to it by Korean friends and have long considered it the Korean version of Russian vodka. Accuracy aside, its often consumed in a similar fashion.
