The most popular way to drink shochu in Japan is as ume-jochu, which is one part shochu diluted with four to five parts hot water. An umeboshi (dried salted Japanese apricot) is added to the glass before drinking. Shochu is also used for making umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur). Both shochu and umeshu are available from Japanese supermarkets.
