Soju

Soju is a clear, distilled alcoholic beverage that originates from Korea.

It is typically made from rice, wheat, or barley, but modern varieties often use other starches like sweet potatoes or tapioca.

Soju has a slightly sweet flavor and usually contains around 13-16.5% alcohol by volume, making it a versatile and popular drink. It is often enjoyed neat in small shot glasses, but it can also be mixed into cocktails.

Soju holds cultural significance in Korea, frequently consumed during social gatherings, celebrations, and traditional ceremonies.
