If you're genuinely curious you can buy it in any Chinatown but will probably have to ask around

i'd always assumed they were given away by the library but now I'm beginning to think this could be the beginning of a great caper
here is soju, not the normal kind but the fruit flavored variety - it tastes like candy or one of those drink mix packets like crystal light that you'd drink as a child in the summer
it's actually legit good if you don't mind the sweet flavor and i enjoy them immensely - very surprised they haven't caught on in the US given the hard seltzer craze etc
blueberry is easily the best flavor
not a big fan of non flavored soju, it's not as good as sake and not as strong as the hard stuff and really doesn't have much of a role
but these guys, i love grabbing one or three at a corner shop and slamming them down while walking along the canal at night

Was one of my favorite things to get drunk off of back in the day.

i think if people realized it was still 3-4x stronger than beer instead of looking at it as half as strong as whisky would be a big selling point to teens - market them like 40s for suburban millenials
future business partner? bonus points if you can speak korean cause i sure can't

I legit want to negotiate rights to sell it in the US and then get investors to launch a huge ad campaign and pressure distributors to carry it - i genuinely think lack of access and knowledge is only think stopping flavored soju from having a big moment in the US

I think Americans prefer things that are fizzy. Also some stiff competition when you already have Ciroc.

I've had a bottle (the same bottle) of this in my refrigerator since Oct 2000. In Japan, we (gaijin) would drink this with soda for a refreshing and light spritzer, almost. Since I've been back from Japan, I barely touch the stuff. Maybe I'll have a cocktail tonight, though.
Sweet, light, maybe 40 proof?
Also, JFC, that bottle is almost legal drinking age!
