soju
Seoul's signature liquor
Soju is a Korean distilled spirit, clear and typically 15-25% alcohol.
It's traditionally made from rice, wheat, or barley, though modern versions often use sweet potato or tapioca.
Soju is Korea's most popular alcoholic drink, usually served neat in small glasses and consumed with food: We ordered soju and fried chicken.
