Curious about Sake & Soju?

Sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine, is crafted through the fermentation of polished rice, water, yeast, and koji mold. Its diverse styles range from dry to sweet, and the quality often correlates with the degree of rice polishing. Served chilled, at room temperature, or warmed, sake plays a central role in Japanese culture, enjoyed in various social and ceremonial contexts. Soju, on the other hand, is a clear Korean spirit distilled from grains like rice or barley, with a neutral taste and a higher alcohol content, typically between 16% and 25% ABV. A significant part of Korean drinking culture, soju is consumed neat, in cocktails, or mixed with other beverages, making it a versatile and popular choice in social gatherings.
