I used to live down the street from there when I lived in Japan. My wife is Japanese, and so I moved there to be with her. When a friend of my father-in-law helped me get work in Japan, I knew he liked Shochu, so I went there to get him a bottle as a thank you gift. When I enetered the store, there was a table set up with 14 different types of Shochu. The kind lady and daughter allowed me to taste all of them. I was pleasantly buzzed and got a good bottle of Shochu. I like sake myself, so that’s where I always went to buy it. I miss the place, and hope to return there one day.
