Some of DRINKS FAMOUS in Korea

BOKBUNJA JU

         Bokbunja, is blackberry native to Korea. The wine is the colour of oxblood, and its sweet, berry flavor is reminiscent more of dessert wine than a red wine. The drink has traditionally been associated with male virility, and it was not untill 2008 that a team of  Korean scientist  confirmed that the berry increased testosteron levels and sperm counts in mice. Talk about aphrodisiac.

BANANA MILK

                                      For many Koreans, banana milk conjures up memories of childhood. The most popular brand, binggrae, has cultivated a loyal following since it hit shelves in 1974, a time when bananas were a luxury food. Since then, binggrae has set its sights on the next generation, having the ever-popular Girl's Generation and the lead actor of Boys Over Flowers Lee Min-Ho star in its commercials.

SOJU

       As the ubiquity of these glittering green bottles in virtually every eating and drinking establishment should tell you : "soju is Korean's national liquor". For a nation of lushes, soju provides a cheap and effective way to get hammered.

CITRON TEA

                         Citron, more commonly reffered to as yuzu, has become a popular ingredient on the menus of fancy restaurant in the United States. The fruits it self look like a large tangerine, but has a tart flavor that places it more closely to grape fruit. As with the green plum, measil, Korean's preserve thin slices of citron in honey or sugar.
