DESCRIPTION:Discover &lt;em&gt;shochu&lt;/em&gt;\, Japan&amp;rsquo\;s other indigenous alco
 holic beverage. Unlike &lt;em&gt;sake&lt;/em&gt;\, which is brewed\, &lt;em&gt;shochu&lt;/em&gt; i
 s distilled (similar to vodka or whiskey)\, and can be made from a variety
  of raw ingredients\, including barley\, sweet potatoes\, rice or even bro
 wn sugar. The &lt;em&gt;shochu&lt;/em&gt;-making process produces a distinctly musical
  bubbling sound as vapors escape the earthenware jar\, lending &lt;em&gt;shochu 
 &lt;/em&gt;a mystical quality. &lt;strong&gt;Shinichiro Watanabe&lt;/strong&gt;\, Chairman o
 f the Committee on Shochu Planning at Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Associa
 tion\, examines the complexities of this versatile spirit\, including its 
 use in religious ceremonies on the island of Kyushu. The talk will also fe
 ature a short musical performance incorporating the ethereal sound of&lt;em&gt; 
 shochu &lt;/em&gt;fermentation\, composed by&lt;strong&gt; Mamoru Fujieda&lt;/strong&gt;. $3
