Descripton: Andong soju has a rich history dating back hundreds of years. The history and culture of Andong Soju in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province led to its designation of Intangible treasure No.12. Residents continue working to preserve the history of soju in the area and to pass on the rich traditions to future generations. Andong soju is 45% proof alcohol. The pureness of the alcohol gives few negative side effects the following day.

Andong soju is manufactured right at the museum, making the museum’s appearance a bit like a factory. Once inside the museum, one can view the process of making Andong soju as well as other unique foods from this region.
