Niulanshan Erguotou (Popular Beijing Baijiu)

労働者のオアシス!中国で年間数億本売れる「白いラベルの小瓶」

Vegan

Description

The overwhelming top-share giant brand among Beijing's Erguotou (commoner's strong Baijiu). Marked by a white label with a red bull logo. Unlike the pure Qingxiang (crisp) 'Hongxing' brand, it blends slight Nongxiang elements, offering faint sweetness and drinkability within the sharp alcohol kick.

Trivia

If 'Hongxing' (Green label) is classic dry, 'Niulanshan' (White label) is mild and sweet. Saying 'I brought Niulanshan' at a Chinese drinking party instantly makes the mood folksy and relaxed.

Eating tips & etiquette

'Niulanshan' is like Coca-Cola, always stocked in every tiny shop and supermarket in China. Bought for hundreds of yen, it's consumed as the 'end-of-day gasoline' by laborers nationwide.
