NHK : Not fooling people... Maybe the Japanese have to see it for themselves... They may have to see it for themselves to realize the true meaning of long term preservation... Making Japanese plum wine... There's a difference between long-lasting, matured and regular... Long-term preservation... It's made by soaking plums in shochu (35 degrees) or mai shochu (25 degrees)... After making plum wine... And then stored for a long time... It means... On the bottle of shochu... "Keep for a long time" is written on the bottle... It means that the shochu.. It's good for making "long-lasting" plum wine... It doesn't mean that it... It can be kept for a long time... Of course... If you mean "keep it for a long time"... It should be fine... Some Japanese people... Especially young people... Don't like to drink shochu that's been stored for a long time... Or eat plums that have been soaked for a long time... So... They use other kinds of shochu. I'm using a shochu that doesn't last long... Or change to Awamori... Or brown sugar shochu... Or whiskey... Or other old liquors... For plum wine... Shochu that can't be stored for too long... There's no "keep for a long time" written on the bottle... In Japan... One of the main uses of shochu... Is to make plum wine... Shochu vendors... Usually indicate on the bottle... On the bottle, they indicate which type of plum wine it is used for... To make it easier for customers to buy... Few people collect shochu... And they don't think... "Keep for a long time" written on the bottle... That someone would want to keep it... To be treasured... Oh, thank you... Generally speaking... Chinese and foreign bottles... It's very rare to find a bottle that... They tell people intentionally... Whether the wine can be kept for a long time... Because alcohol... Will always evaporate... Unless... The alcohol is used for something else ~ ........
