- Soju: Soju,a clear and vodka-like drink,is the best known liquor from Korea.It is made from rice, wheat, sweet potatoes and tapioca.The drinking culture in Korea is popular and sometimes it is a link between friends, family and business. The Korean drinking etiquette is that never pour your own drink.
