With a centuries-long history of craftsmanship and dedication, shochu is a pure, expressive spirit of Japan. Typically made from sweet potatoes, barley, rice, or black sugar, each type of shochu highlights a distinct flavor depending on its base ingredient, and the spirit can be enjoyed in myriad ways, whether sipped or mixed in cocktails. Follow @shochu_japan and head to the link in our bio to explore the world of shochu and to learn how to best savor this storied Japanese spirit.

The internet is rife with commentary on flavors that were once popular but have since vanished, writes Wayne Curtis (@wcurtis) in his latest for Imbibe. It’s a sort of clickbait nostalgia—flavors like Wild Cherry Jell-O and Toasted Almond Good Humor Bars and those strangely tangy-chalky purple Necco Wafers. Yet these aren’t lost flavors—simply discontinued products no longer produced in the factory.Truly lost flavors are far more fascinating. These are flavors that were discovered in the wild, civilized for a time, and then, for one reason or another, exiled to the fading memories of the elderly. While some of these flavors have persisted—we all still recognize juniper, thanks to gin—others that were once everywhere are now nowhere. Head to the link in our bio to read more from Wayne about one such flavor lost to his childhood but still one he longs for today.
