Now I kinda want to try soju. I have yet to meet a drink with any appreciable amount of alcohol in it that doesn’t taste like paint thinner smells to me. The only way I’ve ever been able to “not taste the alcohol” is if there’s barely any in the drink.
Soju tastes kinda like vodka. I think sake is a good balance of “high enough alcohol” and “doesn’t taste like paint thinner.” Not a connoisseur by any means but a bottle of Kurosawa is cheap and tastes pleasant and fruity, and has around 14% ABV.
I probably won’t be able to tolerate it then sadly. I’m super sensitive to bitter flavors that’s seemingly why alcohol is always so unpleasant to me. I’ve tried so many drinks that even friends who barely drink at all say they can hardly taste the alcohol that all tasted just vile to me. Thanks though!
Ok, I take it back. I just got some peach Jinro soju, it’s 13% ABV and doesn’t taste like alcohol at all. Even less than the Sake. Definitely try it.
I’ll see about giving that a shot then.
If that’s your metric just drink “flavored fortified wine” aka bum my wine like MD 20/20. It’s really high alcohol content and super sweet to mask the poor quality.
I’ve tried wines like that before. I apparently have that gene where you super taste bitter and it just tasted like flat LaCroix mixed with paint thinner.
I got completely annihilated on Korean rice wine once. Tested like slightly sweet water. Ice cold, very refreshing. By glass number four, I was at stage 2 snot bubble. Something like 24% ABV and I was drinking water glasses of it
Soju is actually distilled, and thus a spirit (or possibly liqueur) and not a wine.
Well hellz bellz peng you I guess that explains it
This stuff is like sweet flavored vodka. You can drink it pretty quick for sure.
One of my historically worst hangovers was from soju. Together with friends we went to a Korean grill place and the drinks just kept coming. Next morning was bad. I was wrecked in a ways Sodom and Homorrah were, and I was the Lot’s wife looking back at the inferno in the mirror. Big bang headache with coordination of a limp muppet and diction of a local railway station announcement.
I’m a big guy. I’m my life I’ve experienced some shits. Metal band tours. Post game rugby bus shenanigans. Hoboing around and drinking to keep warm. Getting wasted with carbide enriched hooch while at a LARPG. Soju brought every of that memory, and played a sadistic slow motion replay, making me question every life decision.
So yeah, gotta try that again once. And I need to score some buckfast.
bucksfast
what are you, too good for chugging white lightning?
Elaborate please?
no
What kind of beverage is that? I wanna nyan.
Soju.
It is a little bit like vodka. It is served ice cold, tastes like mildly sweet water and comes in a beer-style bottle so people who don’t know what it is drink way too much of it too fast and then get hit like a hammer. The bottles are meant to be poured into shot glasses and shared. It has 20-25% alcohol content and some drinks are sold premixed with a juice flavor like the example in the picture.
It is extremely cheap too in South Korea. You can buy a 20 pack case for less than $1/bottle there. You can get alcohol poisoning for less than $10.
Thanks!
It’s soju, a Korean grain spirit, traditionally made with rice. This one is peach flavored, which means it barely tastes like alcohol and goes down extra easy, since most soju nowadays is low proof liquor.
who the hell licks the lid?
