samshu

Liu Han felt as if she were drunk on samshu, though she'd had nothing stronger than tea.

Nieh let Hou freshen his cup of samshu, too.

If he was too drunk to handle them properly, he had indeed had quite a lot of samshu.

Nieh looked down on him, then shrugged and left coins on the table to pay for the samshu they had been drinking.

Hsia slurped at his samshu.

"They loved it, loved it, I tell you," he exclaimed, gulping down one glass after another of samshu, the potent, triple-distilled brew made from kaoliang-millet beer.

After a group of sailors consumed the rice liquor samshu, a local named Lin Weixi in the village of Tsim Sha Tsui was beaten in a drunken brawl and died the next day.

On Sunday, July 7, 1839, a large group of British and American sailors, including crew from the 'Carnatic', was ashore at Kowloon, a provisioning point, and found a supply of samshu, a rice liquor, in the village of Chien-sha-tsui(Tsimshatsui).
