When
I first spoke the name aloud, it sounded a bit reminiscent of the command
necessary to beam a Klingon back aboard his spaceship. But although the name
may have sounded strange, dinner at Shochu (Pronounced Show-chew) turned out
to be one of the most gastronomically rewarding evenings I have experienced
in quite some time. I had the good fortune of journeying – well… the journey
itself may not have been very rewarding; the traffic from the suburbs to the
City was absolutely abominable – to what has been described as the first
American Shochu lounge. Located at 3313 N. Clark Street in the Lakeview
area, Shochu may be smallish in size – seating perhaps 60-70 patrons – and
although it features “Asian-edged small plates”, there is nothing small
about the flavors offered by Executive Chef and partner Josh Hansen on an
incredibly varied and interesting menu.
