If you have ever watched a K-drama, you might have seen the characters red in the face and yapping over tiny shot glasses filled with Soju. The clear liquid that doesn't look any different from vodka or gin is the beloved drink of Korea. The small signature green bottles of this grain-based alcohol have become very common in liquor shops, with most places selling it. Soju is known for its mild alcoholic content, typically ranging from 16 to 25 per cent ABV. This characteristic makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a more moderate drinking experience, where the focus lies on savouring the flavours.
