What Is Soju?
Soju is Korea’s most popular alcoholic beverage, traditionally made from rice and distilled into a clear, smooth spirit. With an alcohol content (ABV) typically ranging from 12% to 25%, soju is lighter than vodka but stronger than beer — making it incredibly versatile.
In recent years, flavored soju has gained global popularity, especially among younger drinkers looking for smoother and fruitier options.
What Does Soju Taste Like?
Traditional soju has:
- A clean, neutral profile
- Slight sweetness
- Smooth finish
Flavored soju, like DAON Soju, offers a softer and more approachable experience with fruit-forward notes such as peach, mango, grape, or green apple.
These flavors make it ideal for:
- First-time drinkers
- Social gatherings
- Casual dinners
- Cocktail mixing
How Do You Drink Soju?
There are several ways to enjoy soju:
1. Straight (Chilled)
Serve cold in small shot glasses.
2. With Ice

3. With Food
Commonly paired with Korean BBQ, fried chicken, and spicy dishes.
