Soju

description Soju Overview

Soju is a Korean distilled alcoholic spirit traditionally made by distilling a fermented rice mash. Modern commercial soju may instead use other starches, including sweet potato, barley, wheat, or tapioca, and is commonly diluted and bottled at a lower strength than traditional pot-distilled versions. It is typically served in small glasses with Korean meals and is also used in mixed drinks, making it a familiar table beverage in South Korea and among Korean communities abroad.
