Soju is probably the best known liquor from Korea, with its distinctive green bottle, it is said to be a favorite dinner accompaniment of Koreans. Soju is distilled liquor traditionally made from rice but is now being combined with other ingredients such as potato, wheat, barley, sweet potato, or tapioca. Soju is a clear-colored drink and typically varies in alcohol content from 20% to 45% alcohol by volume. My friends say its taste is comparable to vodka although a bit sweeter.

tried drinking this one, i had the biggest headache the following day.
i read in an article that Lonely Planet guide to Korea described soju as a robust drink distilled from rice, yams or tapioca, and potent as toilet bowl cleanser.
a friend of mine said that if its an inexpensive soju, most likely it is made from mixing pure ethanol with water and flavoring, and they call it "diluted soju", while soju manufactured by distillation from grain is called "distilled soju".
