The Takara Shōchū Highball brand, which is said to be the origin of the term "Chūhai," pursues the taste of the original "Shōchū Highball" born in downtown Tokyo izakayas in the late Showa 20s (late 1940s to early 1950s). It is a dry Chūhai with the robust flavor unique to Takara Shōchū and a refreshing crispness from strong carbonation.

The brand will continue to deliver the "strong carbonation and refreshing dry taste" loved in downtown izakayas.
