Drink warm, taste more: Shochu Oyuwari

February 6, 2026

Drink warm, taste more: Shochu Oyuwari
Japan has a very special response to the cold, icy winter temperatures: Shochu Oyuwari. This traditional way of drinking is much more than just shochu with hot water. It is a ritual, a moment of slowing down and an invitation to consciously experience flavors. The rising aroma, the gentle warmth in the glass, and the smooth taste make Oyuwari the perfect companion for relaxed evenings, good food, or simply a quiet moment to yourself.

Fermentation in Japan – Tradition between craftsmanship and high tech
Hardly any other food culture in the world is as deeply, naturally, and diversely influenced by fermentation as Japanese cuisine. From breakfast to dinner, from rustic village cooking to haute cuisine, fermented foods are not a trend but a fundamental part of Japanese culture. They shape taste, shelf life, nutritional value, and ultimately the Japanese understanding of time, patience, and nature.

The Ume Blossom: Japan's First Sign of Spring

The Ume Blossom: Japan's First Sign of Spring
While winter still seems to have Japan firmly in its grip, spring is already quietly announcing its arrival. Not with cherry blossoms and picnic blankets, but with a delicate fragrance wafting through the cold air—the ume blossom. Usually at the end of January, sometimes not until the beginning of February, the first delicate blossoms of the Japanese apricot tree open, marking the very first peak of flowering of the year. For many Japanese people, the ume blossom is more than just a botanical event. It is a cultural symbol, an occasion for rituals, festivals, and culinary traditions.
