Mixiang baijiu (Chinese: 米香型白酒; pinyin: mǐ xiāng xíng báijiǔ; lit. 'rice fragrance wine') or rice baijiu is a variety of Chinese liquor (baijiu) distilled mainly from rice, rather than from sorghum or other grains like other types of baijiu.

Rice baijiu is famous for having a characteristic rice fragrance. One famous brand of rice baijiu is called Sanhuajiu (三花酒; literally "three flower wine"), which is produced in Guilin, Guangxi province.
Name
The name "rice fragrance baijiu" may mislead the drinker, who may regard it as simply ordinary baijiu flavoured by rice. In fact, this kind of distilled beverage differs from sorghum-based baijiu in that its main ingredient is rice.
"Mibaijiu" is also the name of a type of Chinese rice wine produced in the Jiangsu province.[1]
