Explanation and Etymology - (蒸留) jyouryuu
Etymology and Meaning
The Japanese word 「蒸留」 (じょうりゅう, jyouryuu) refers to the process of distillation. This term is composed of two kanji: 「蒸」 (じょう, jou), which means "vaporize" or "evaporation," and 「留」 (りゅう, ryuu), which can be translated as "hold," "retain," or "stay." When combined, these characters describe the process of volatilizing a liquid and subsequent condensation, a central technique in distillation.
Definition and Applications
Distillation is a physical method of separating mixtures based on the differences in the boiling points of substances. It is widely used to purify liquids or to produce alcoholic beverages, where water is separated from alcohol. In Japan, distillation plays an important role in the production of some traditional beverages, such as shōchū, which is a type of distilled alcohol made from various ingredients like barley, sweet potato, and rice.
