I'm going for six bottles. I've had three, and I'm a little toasted. But I'm trying to push the envelope.

Reminds me of those new (rather annoying) Tanqueray commercials.

"The campaign celebrates the ingredients in Tanqueray like coriander, Angelica root and juniper, which according to one commercial �make gin a cocktail before it even goes into a cocktail.�"


I wonder what the ingredients of soju would be. Enjoy your chemical cocktail.

How much does the stuff cost these days per bottle?

I'm about to go over in September and the most up to date info I can find for a bottle is years ago?

What's the cost and size of bottle at a corner store? Supermarket? Bar?

Corner store? 1,200 won. Bar? 3000 won. I'm a Jinro Original man. It gets me nice and toasted.

Regular size. About the size of a small bottle of cola. Trust me. It's a bargain. Soju is the only thing that hasn't been hit by inflation.

Anyone here a fan of the Busan soju C-1?

I am by no means much of a soju drinker, but the C-1 seems to be the best of what I have tasted, so much so that I make trips down there to buy it on occasion.

I have never tried it before and I do hope I can stomach it. 3000 won at a bar for a can size at about 20% abv sounds like I could turn into a functioning alcoholic.

Alcohol is so expensive in Canada!

But you gotta order it with anju.

I'm right now breaking a personal record. I'm on bottle number five.

By the way, brother, I'm drinking Jinro Original Cham ee sul. It ain't for the sissies.
