Soju (/ˈsoʊdʒuː/; Korean: 소주; Hanja: 燒酒) is a clear and colorless Korean distilled alcoholic beverage,[1][2][3] traditionally made from rice, but later from other grains.[4]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.[5][6]
Traditionally, most brands of soju are produced in the Andong region, but also in other regions and countries. While soju was traditionally made from the rice, 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.[7]
