samshu
Where it comes from
From Cantonese 三燒 /三烧 (“thrice-burnt”), a former name of 三蒸酒 (sānzhēngjiǔ, “thrice-distilled alcohol”).
noun samshew · samshoe · samshoo · samsu
- A triple-distilled variety of rice-based baijiu. It would seem to be a purer ethyl spirit than samshu and other forms, as it does not have the delirient action possessed by many of these, which seem to contain large percentages of methyl spirit.
-
Synonym of baijiu.
