it's fine...quite enjoyable actually. if you want something unique though get some makkori at the korean grocery.

lots of places make things like soju, but makkori is quite special.

Looks like jizz. Does it have milk or what?

>>6243694
Its made from rice. The white color is from rice. I personally prefer soju though. I have "bad" days and "good" days where it tastes really sour or tastes like really sweet sweet potatoes.

>>6243694
no milk, though it does look like it does..or jizz...i prefer to think of milk but w/e floats your boat. it is absolutely delicious though, try it out. one of the most unique liqours i have ever had.

>>6243680
I really like it. It's got a nice creaminess to it that goes down real smooth. I have it every chance I get.

I was at a Christmas party where about 80% were Korean once. We drank quite a lot of soju. It's okay.

it has an incredibly mild ethanol taste if you put it in other things, even in large quantities

a few years ago my friends mixed it with some calpico in a big gulp cup, one person drank most of it and apparently didn't realize there was much alcohol in it because he was full retard drunk about an hour later

its just watered down vodka
literally

OP here. Sounds like most anons here had neutral to good experience with Soju. I'll go buy some then. I'll pick up the Soju and the Makkori jizz. Is it as cheap here as in Korea? In Korea its like $1 according to the video.

>>6243752

no it's not as cheap here, but it's still fairly inexpensive if you get it at a korean market

I think I get 1.75l (I think that's the size, it's a big ass green bottle, and it's like $7

I always have one or two of these as an excuse to get fucked up while dining out alone. Red one is the strongest!

Dont forget to get really drunk and start talking about the one that got away like every kdrama ever

It's literally ~20 percent ethanol 80 percent ethanol

literally

if you buy 1L smirnoff and add 1 liter of water, that's soju. wowowow so amazing

tastes like 'slightly thick mouthfeel', mild alcohol burn water

>source: I drink it all the time, fuck I'm drinking it right now

also, don't fall for that bullshit and buy that rice milk looking shit it's fucking disgusting looks like fucking cum and gives you day long hangovers and only 7 percent or some shit fuck that shit to hell eat shit

You can get the flavored stuff, but this drink exists for one reason only. Koreans don't beat around the bush when it comes to alcoholism.

lol I look really fat in this photo

>tfw i think he sounds like a fucking lightweight.
>mfw i realize i am an alcoholic.

>>6243805
Isn't getting pissed more efficiently why you buy this is the first place? Why worry about being a lightweight?

>>6243811
i am not trying to brag or sound edgey at all, but...that shit is like water to me. or at least it was up until 3 years ago; now it would probably lay me on my ass, but i don't drink. there are much stronger things to choose from is my point though.

>>6243829
1 gets me to drunk 2 gets me stupid drunk. But if I do it too often 2 is enough to get me to the right place.

It's like any drug, the ceiling raises if you do it more than once a week or fortnight. Which is about where I liked to keep it for opiates too. The diminishing returns are too hard for me to bear for me to do it daily anyway.

>>6243805

he wasn't a heavyweight but he wasn't a super lightweight either

>not making and drinking your own makgeolli

do you even try?

ITS LITERALLY WATERED DOWN RICE VODKA

>>6243878
Okay Timmy, jesus....calm your tits down.

>>6243878
Yeah, well I'd rather do baijiu. But I don't know a place where it's acceptable to order casually with your meal.

rice whiskey... it's like real whiskey, but rice, and half the percentage.

Chilled, it's quite nice - a bit of burn with some sweetness and a slight vodka/ethanol aftertaste in most of the ones I've tried.

Warm, it's whiskey, but rice... and half-proof.

Mixed, it's like weak vodka. The flavour is too mild to really do much.

>>6243895
>baijiu

Why. Its terrible unless you pay out the nose for something like Moutai

>>6243946
It's terrible regardless, why pay out of anything?

My brother married a Chinese, so I don't think I've had the bad stuff yet. It's all been pretty good. I'd rank it as one of my top liquors.

There are other brands too, also pretty expensive.

I've had both good experiences and bad experiences, but the latter is mostly due to losing the bottlecap game and being forced to drink copious amounts of it. It goes down fairly smooth and the taste/mouth feel is rather light.

Does this taste anything like sake? There are two companies that make sake near where I live in California so I drink a lot of that because you can get junmai for less than $4 for a 750mL bottle most of the time.

>>6245634
it rough low end sake. It is really just cheap watered down sake.

>>6243680
its bretty gud, try the korean beer Hite its not bad, I could drink gallons of that shit, its smooth and flavorful

>>6243895
>baijiu
i bet you have never tried this shit

its disgusting

>>6245655
it is cheap and low tier but why do you possibly think it is watered down?? do you really think that could be possible to pull off? i understand not liking it lol..wow.

>>6245778

don't take things too literally online bro

>>6243680
