Soju
Soju (; Hangul: 소주; Hanja: 燒酒) is a clear and colorless distilled alcoholic beverage popular in the Korean Peninsula. It is usually consumed neat. Its alcohol content varies from about 12.9% to 53% alcohol by volume (ABV), although since 2007 low alcohol soju below 20% has become more popular.Traditionally, most brands of soju are produced in the Andong region, but soju made from other regions or countries also exists. While soju was traditionally made from the grain of rice, wheat, or barley, South Korean ethanol producers replace rice with other starch, such as cassava due to significantly lower capital costs. Soju often appear similar to several other East Asian liquors while differing on alcohol contents.

Soju
Soju is a distilled beverage native to Korea. Jinro and Lotte soju are the first and third top selling alcohol brands in the world. Its taste is comparable to vodka, though often slightly sweeter due to sugars added in the manufacturing process. It is usually consumed neat. Most brands of soju are made in South Korea. Though it is traditionally made from rice, most modern producers of soju use supplements or even replace rice with other starches, such as potatoes, wheat, barley, sweet potatoes, or tapioca. Soju is clear and colorless. Its alcohol content varies from about 16.7%, to about 45% alcohol by volume for traditional Andong soju, with 20% ABV being most common. It is widely consumed, in part, because of its relatively low price in Korea. A typical 375mL bottle of soju costs the consumer 1,000 to 3,000 South Korean Won in South Korea. In the USA, it tends to cost substantially more – $5 or more.
