Soju has become one of the most popular beverages in the country. The clear, low-alcohol, distilled spirit has captured the hearts and tastebuds of Filipinos. Sometimes called Korean vodka because of its neutral taste, soju is now offered in different flavors, so you’ll always find different ways to experiment with and enjoy soju.
