A distilled beverage native to Korea. It is traditionally made from rice. Its taste is comparable to vodka, though slightly sweeter due to sugars added in the manufacturing process.
The national alcoholic beverage of Korea. Made from potatoes, commonly between 17 ~ 30% alcohol by volume. Exorbitantly cheap in Korea (W1,000 or $1 per bottle), drunk socially at nearly every outing, business or casual. Drunk in shots, especially when challenged to.
