Soju (English pronunciation: / ˈ s oʊ dʒ uː /; Korean: 소주; Hanja: 燒酒) is a clear and colorless distilled alcoholic beverage, [1] [2] [3] traditionally made from rice, but later from other grains and has a flavor similar to vodka. [4]
The first proto-baijiu was likely made during the Tang dynasty (618–907) as the drink was described by poets Bai Juyi (白居易) and Yong Tao (雍陶) at the time. The flourishing of Song dynasty (960–1279) commerce and urbanization likely popularized alcohol consumption with a boom of Jiuguan (酒馆, 'pub, bar') in major cities.
Although soju is often compared to vodka, it has a sweet taste due to added sugar. The drink is usually served in a shot glass. It has a smooth, clean taste, and pairs well with a variety of Korean dishes. Soju is generally inexpensive; a typical bottle costs about ₩1,800, less than US$1.65 (convenience store standards). [49]
