Mixiang baijiu (Chinese: 米香型白酒; pinyin: mǐ xiāng xíng báijiǔ; lit. 'rice fragrance wine') or rice baijiu is a variety of Chinese liquor (baijiu) distilled mainly from rice, rather than from sorghum or other grains like other types of baijiu.
Rice baijiu is famous for having a characteristic rice fragrance. One famous brand of rice baijiu is called Sanhuajiu (三花酒; literally "three flower wine"), which is produced in Guilin, Guangxi province.
Name
[edit]The name "rice fragrance baijiu" may mislead the drinker, who may regard it as simply ordinary baijiu flavoured by rice. In fact, this kind of distilled beverage differs from sorghum-based baijiu in that its main ingredient is rice.
"Mibaijiu" is also the name of a type of Chinese rice wine produced in the Jiangsu province.[1]
