Not seeing Japanese characters?

If you can't see characters written in Japanese, you haven't got the right character encoding switched on in your browser. Right click and "encoding" in Explorer or "View"=>"character encoding" in Firefox or "View"=>"Encoding" in Opera. If you still cannot see them, you do not have the relevant language pack installed on the computer. This page tells you more.

This is a side blog to my main Japanese whisky blog, Nonjatta. It is a little diversion to try to find out more about shōchū, Japan's indigenous distilled drink.

Shōchū is shockingly under explored outside Japan. There are hundreds of varieties and many high quality products. Language, history and economics have fostered the general ignorance. I hope this sideblog will help open the door an inch or two. Here is the feed, if you want to keep abreast of this sideblog:

And, if you are new to shōchū, you might want to look at my nifty basic course:

Introduction

Lesson 1: The two basic categories of shōchū

Lesson 2: The many ingredients of shōchū

Lesson 3: What is kōji?

Lesson 4: Reading a bottle

Vocab crib sheet

There are Japanese characters on this site. I try to display photos of the most important characters but to set your browser to read Japanese look at this entry.
