Baijiu is characterized by solid-state fermentation and distillation using a grain culture called qū, which allows for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. This is a typical feature of liquors produced in East Asia. Chinese baijiu is always distilled from grain, produced in batches and blended. [10] [11]
[12] [13] Some soju brand names include iseul (이슬), the native-Korean word for "dew", or ro (로; 露), the Sino-Korean word for "dew". Soju is sometimes mistakenly referred to as cheongju (청주), a Korean rice wine. Mass-produced soju is also mistaken for Chinese baijiu, a grain liquor, and shōchū, a Japanese liquor.
Erguotou (Chinese: 二锅头; pinyin: èrguōtóu; lit. 'second pot head', 'i.e. second distillation') is a style of qingxiang baijiu originating in Beijing and primarily made in the region surrounding. [1] [2] The process of erguotou production is what sets it apart from other qingxiang baijiu's like Fenjiu.
The first batch of erguotou was produced in September and named Hong Xing (红星;"Red Star") in honor of the founding of the republic. The soon to be iconic label was designed by a Japanese Red Army enlistee named Sakurai. [3] Hongxing became one of the first trademarks registered in the nation in 1951 and demand for the drink only grew.
byejoe is available in 2 flavors. The unflavored, byejoe red, is the original baijiu and is 40% ABV. [10] The second variation is known as byejoe dragon fire and is 35% ABV. [11] dragon fire is the original baijiu infused with dragon fruit, lychee, and hot chilis. [12] Both flavors are available nationwide through the company's e-commerce site.
Jiuqu, also simply known as qu, [a] is a type of dried fermentation starter used in the production of traditional Chinese alcoholic beverages. [2] The word jiuqu specifically refers to a type of yeast (曲; 麴; qū) used to make alcohol (酒; jiǔ) such as huangjiu (cereal wine), baijiu (distilled spirits) and jiuniang (alcoholic rice pudding).
A type of baijiu (Chinese liquor) called rice baijiu (Chinese: 米白酒; pinyin: mǐ báijiǔ) is made via further distillation from mijiu. Rice wines were first made in ancient China around 1000 BC, and then spread to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and other East Asian countries around the Sinosphere during the height of the Han and Tang dynasties.
