I discovered Soju, a Korean drink, on New Year's Eve, and I'm hooked. To be honest, I'm not a fan of hard liquor, but this one's softness and flavor caught my attention.
This year, I found new Soju bottles in 'Red and White' with different designs, manufacturers, and flavors. I'd love to try them all!
The first thing that caught my eye was a tiny, pale pink bottle with a cherry blossom design. Then, I noticed similar bottles with other flavors on the shelf. I picked a few, but haven't tried them yet.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraVolume 0.3 litersPrice 229 rubles
Strength 12 rotations
Shelf life not limited
The bottle is small, pale pink, and has a matte finish, like it's been sweating a bit.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraI was curious about the flavor of the drink with cherry blossom...As expected, there's a tax stamp on the side.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraThose interested in the ingredients can check the label. However, the font is so small that I had trouble reading it even with a magnifying glass. The base ingredient is ethyl alcohol from food-grade 'Lux' materials.When I opened the bottle, I tried to figure out the scent. And I was sure - it smelled like strawberries, a familiar smell from yogurt or cottage cheese with strawberry pieces. The scent was pleasant, not chemical at all, soft, and appetizing.
After checking the label, I found that the ingredients include strawberry wine extract and a flavor enhancer.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraI was surprised to find that this Korean drink isn't even made in Korea - that's why it's priced so affordably (I've seen bottles of Soju that claim to be from Korea selling for around 1000 rubles, sometimes even more). The manufacturer is actually a KLVZ called 'Crystal' in the Kaluga region, Obninsk. To be honest, I've never tried the original drink, but this Russian version is totally fine by me in terms of taste.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraThe drink is initially lightly carbonated, but not overpowering - it's pretty smooth.When I tried it straight up, it was a bit too strong and boozy for my taste, but it's definitely tasty.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraLast year, I experimented with mixing Soju with various juices and drinks. I discovered that I love it best when mixed with tonic water - the regular stuff, no added flavor. It also pairs really well with the juice that's listed on the bottle. For example, the cherry Soju I tried was amazing with cherry juice. Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraI didn't have any cherry juice this time around, but I had some tonic water on hand. You can adjust the proportions to your liking. My goal isn't to get drunk, I just want to have a good time with friends. So, I mix one-third Soju with two-thirds tonic water.
The tonic water adds even more carbonation to the drink and balances out the sweetness with a pleasant bitterness.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraI've been enjoying this drink for two days now, and I've only had half the bottle. I'm definitely going to finish it before Christmas, and I also want to try the second variant with lemon. Plus, I've got two bottles of Soju from the Sibsa brand that I liked last year.The taste is balanced, soft with a subtle cherry hint. It's easy to drink and doesn't hit you over the head. I stay sharp, but I feel a light sense of euphoria, like a gentle breeze passing through my brain.
Sodju INSAIGHT FIZZY SakuraI'd recommend trying this drink with your girlfriends and finding the perfect cocktail with it. Guys, don't bother - you'll be disappointed. The bottle itself is even feminine, clean, soft, and innocent-looking.From me, 5 stars, and I'm off to enjoy it some more....
P.S. My new Fix Price glasses made an appearance in the photo shoot.
