Korean Soju is a clear, distilled alcoholic beverage that originates from Korea. It is traditionally made from grains like rice, barley, or wheat, but modern variations can also use sweet potatoes or tapioca. Soju typically has an alcohol content ranging from 16% to 25%, making it stronger than beer but milder than most spirits. Soju is often enjoyed straight in small shot glasses and is a popular choice for social gatherings and meals. It can be consumed on its own or mixed with other beverages, such as beer or fruit juices, to create cocktails. Its versatility and smooth taste contribute to its widespread popularity in Korean culture.
