A Taste of Tokyo's Islands: A Special Glass of Liquor (14x6)

Air date: Jul 14, 2025

The Izu Islands, off Japan's Pacific coast, are officially part of Tokyo. The islands are famous for producing a liquor called "shochu," a distilled drink made from ingredients such as barley or sweet potatoes. We travel to the Izu Islands, meeting local people and savoring the local spirits.
