        My friends and I had a GREAT time learning about the history and processing of soju. We enjoyed walking around the distillery and learning about how it all gets made, but more importantly, we really enjoyed our host. He was extremely knowledgeable, hilarious, and gave us restaurant recommendations after. I would definitely recommend this experience to a friend (especially those who enjoy the "green bottle" soju [which we learned is not real soju])

        We had a really great evening (small group of 5) & fun times talking about soju and whatever else would come up while we did the tasting in a relaxed atmosphere. Very interesting indeed! Sam is very welcoming and I can only highly recommend doing this! Truly one of my Highlights.
        Super enjoyable and fun evening learning about and drinking soju

        Brilliant tasting session! Sam was extremely welcoming, friendly and super knowledgeable about the history of 3 pig soju and the process to make it! A very enjoyable evening with lots of laughs and some amazing soju! Would recommend to anyone visiting the area
        A very authentic Korean experience

        This was great and an insight into what Soju really is. Sam was extremely knowledgeable and the Soju tasting was an experience not to be missed.
        It was ok.

        Awesome experience, but I feel like I did not get the most of it as a solo tourist. I was mostly ignored by other travelers and some americans was really rude to me. Other than that, it was really good.

        Sam Lee was a knowledgeable guide and explained the history of Soju as well as the distillation process very clearly.

        Knowledgeable and fun guide, enjoyed the group we were with. It was as expected, good soju, good times
        Sam is the best!

        Sam was amazing! A great conversationalist and very knowledgeable about the process of making soju. It felt like trying different bottles with an old friend. I highly recommend this experience.
        Soju tasting experience
        Caroline_C, Apr 2023
        My partner and I did a Soju tasting with Sam. It was relaxed and very fun. The tasting explored a little bit of Korean history as well as soju making and we were able to try quite a few different varieties. By the end of the session, we learned a ton, had new soju favorites, and found a few new friends.
        Great Soju tasting in Seul
        Isabella_C, Apr 2023
        Wonderful experience of Soju tasting in Seul! Sam was a warm and welcoming host, he explained the whole process telling also some interesting and fun facts. We had the chance to visit the distillery and taste several different Soju flavours. Highly recommended...Remember to eat something before the tasting, there will be a lot!
        Awesome Soju Tasting in Seoul with Sam
        sangchun_l, Mar 2023
        The experience was fantastic, and Sam's hospitality was exceptional. We not only got to sample alcohol with varying degrees of strength (some of which made me feel both tipsy and delighted!), but we also gained insights into the culture surrounding soju and its production process, including how yakju and takju are produced before soju. Sam was an excellent guide who provided us with valuable tips on treatments and places to visit in Seoul, which was incredibly beneficial. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Seoul!
