soju

Indulge in Korea’s national drink - soju! As one of the most popular liquors in the world, you’re missing out if you’ve not yet tried a bottle.

Korean soju is intended to accompany food and is traditionally consumed as a communal drink, making it a brilliant go-to beverage for get-togethers and enjoying with friends.

 

what is soju?

Soju is a clear spirit that is sometimes referred to as ‘Korean vodka’. Traditionally, it’s made from a blend of rice and grains, although some are made with other forms of starch, such as sweet potato or wheat.

Regular soju has a relatively neutral taste, with an element of sweetness. Alongside original Korean soju, you can also find a range of fruity flavours, including things like strawberry, grape and plum.

soju alcohol content

Soju is around 20% alcohol, compared to the usual 40% for vodka, so soju is less harsh and more neutral than other spirits.
