Oh yeah! Here we go again in our search for Korean products in the Philippines. This time it will be the Korean Soju as well as the Korean Makgeolli (Makkoli or Makuly(takju). Those two beverages are some of the most favorite drinks of the Koreans and Korean-wannabes!

1. Where can I buy Korean Soju in the Philippines?
Korean sojus are very easy to find. I’ve been looking for it here in Batangas since 2008 and I thought that I will not find one except buying it from South Korea. LOL! But to my surprise, many 7-11 (7 eleven) stores are selling this drink! There are 2 soju flavors available, “Original” and “Fresh”. (Honestly, I can’t figure out what’s the difference between the two. Hehehe. )

Aside from that, you can also go soju-swimming at Robinson’s Place on their Grocery Store! Hehehe. Just go to the Oriental Section and grab a bottle soon.

2. Where can I buy Korean Makgeolli?
I am not familiar with this drink on the first place. I am not even aware that this kind of beverage exist. Hehehe. I just saw it while watching an episode of Playful Kiss Korean drama (also known as Mischievous Kiss). The leading lady got drunk after drinking a cup of Makgeolli (Makkoli or Makuly(takju). It also comes with different flavors. Here are some photos of Makgeolli.

So where can you find this Makgeolli rice-wine? Again, 7-Eleven was there to serve you these drinks. They don’t allow you to drink soju or makgeolli inside their store. Take it out and drink it outside.

That’s all! Hope this helps.
