    I bought this local specialty while traveling in Kochi. Chestnut shochu is relatively uncommon in Taiwan, so I brought it back to drink with friends. At first, everyone was curious about what alcohol made from chestnuts would taste like. It wasn't as sweet as we had imagined, but instead had a subtle chestnut aroma and a fairly refreshing taste. Later, we added ice and a little water, which made it even smoother to drink. It was a distinctive souvenir from this trip to Japan.
