Soju Museum, Andong, South Korea

I didn't fair too well with the heat the previous day, so as this day was going to be even hotter we decided to take a rest and only do one thing which was indoors - we couldn't miss the soju musuem, could we?

I don't know what I expected but this was actually lots of fun! There wasn't too much information on the soju making in English, but Luke filled in many of the gaps for me. There was a lady who came to show us round the museum, and upon learning we were English excitedly took us to the photo of the late Queen Elizabeth when she visited in 1999.

There was lots of the display plastic food that we saw in Japan outside restaurants, but it was here to demonstrate the food which is eaten with each soju. The drink determines the food!

We had a bit of a tasting (it was too strong for me, but I can see the appeal) and Luke treated himself to a small bottle as the musuem was free.Læs mere
