ABOUT SOJU

Soju is a spirit from Korea. The most important raw ingredient is rice, almost always in combination with other foods containing carbohydrates such as potatoes, wheat or barley. Soju is clear and typically has an alcohol content of 20%. It has been distilled since at least the 14th century. The name literally means brandy.

ABOUT MAKGEOLLI

Makgeolli is a naturally cloudy alcoholic drink from Korea with an alcohol content of mostly 5–8%, in some cases up to 13%. It is made from rice with the addition of water, nuruk (wheat or rice cultures) and yeast, is only roughly filtered and therefore milky-white and has a mild, slightly sour and sweet taste. Sometimes variants with additional ingredients such as corn or fruit are offered. Compared to many other types of alcohol, makgeolli is high in protein and contains fewer calories. Thanks to the lactic acid bacteria and yeast, the drink is also enriched with vitamins and some carbonic acid.
