Alcoholic Drinks

Korea was an agrarian society centered on rice farming until the Joseon Dynasty, so rice-based alcoholic beverages such as cheongju, makgeolli, and soju were the mainstream. Today, it’s easy to find and enjoy both soju and makgeolli, as well as Western alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and whiskey.
