Soju Sampler.


Had dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Food was ok, but QPR was not great. They did have a nice selection of sake though, but I went for the soju sampler instead. Three pours, from left to right: sweet potato, barley, rice.

  • Sweet potato is starchy, finishes with a hint of sweetness.
  • Barley is the most like vodka, finishes like barley tea.
  • Rice is like a super filtered sake-vodka, very little taste on the palate in the middle.

Would like to try some sakes, if I ever go back. I'll probably get better QPR on some sweet Chinese liquors at the Asian corner liquor store.
