Chien Baijiu

Chien Baijiu (茅炎白酒 Chienhakushu) is one of Haku Province's Eight Delicacies. Chien translates to "Flames of Kunai Grass" and Baijiu translates from Chinese to "White Liquor".
== Information ==
Chien Baijiu is the strongest alcoholic drink in Saiunkoku. This sake is produced on Ki Mountain. It is believed that the sake is so potent and so highly concentrated, that it can knock a large man unconscious with only one mouthful.
== Plot ==
In a drinking game against Minister Kan Hishou of the Ministry of Works, Kou Shuurei poured a substantial amount of Chien Baijiu into a large sake cup and drank it all. This episode became legendary within the Imperial Court. 
While surgeries were being performed on those suffering from the strange disease in Sa Province, the alcohol was used by doctors to sterilise their surgical instruments and hands.
== Trivia ==
*The drinking game with Kan Hishou was not included in the anime, most like due to the fact that Shuurei was underaged at the time.
*Chien Baijiu, otherwise known as MáoYán BáiJiǔ, is based on MáoTái, a popular brand of Baijiu produced in Guizhou province, China.
*The name of the alcohol may be in reference to how easily and quickly Kunai Grass can burn.
