Sho

Volume

0.48 gal

The sho is a traditional Japanese unit of volume used for measuring liquids and dry goods. Standardized under the Shakukan-ho system in 1891, one sho is defined as exactly 1/100 of a koku, which equals approximately 1.8039 liters (0.0018039 cubic meters). Historically key to grain and liquid trade, the sho remains culturally relevant in modern Japan as the standard 1.8-liter bottle size (isshobin) used for packaging traditional sake and shochu.
