일새주 -
I just found this in Taiwan. Taste is just like 소주 and from 전남도.
일반 means something like 'general' or 'ordinary'. Maybe that applies. There's no hanja, so I can't tell what the full name means. The name 백새주 also contains 새. What is the meaning of 새?
Just a curiosity, but share if you know about this or its name. |

You mean 입새주 (Ipsaeju) or "leaf liquor" in Korean. Ah, Jeolla-do. How much I miss you consider that my mother's is a self-hating Gyeongsang-do-ian.
백새주 is actually 백세주 (百歲酒 in Hanja) which means "centennial liquor". It's a medicinal alcoholic drink for one's longevity. |

백세주 (百歲酒 in Hanja) = 100 year liquor, but it means you're going to live to a hundred. The alcohol isn't a hundred years old.
세 is used when talking about age when using sino-korean numbers
e.g 이십오세 = 25세
살 is used when using pure korean numbers.
eg. 스물다섯살 = 25살 |

Thanks, you're right.
I knew this, but had forgotten the hangeul for the name. |

Seems we're both wrong. It's 잎새주.
From 깻잎 - 잎 means leaf, right?
There are green maple leaves on the bottle. But I don't think it comes from maple leaves ... What's the actual source material? |

From what I know, it's just a regional brand of soju.
I consulted to the Korean-Korean dictionary. 잎새 is a dialectal variant of 잎사귀, literally meaning "wide leaf". |
