Popular Alcohol in Korea*
When it comes to Korean alcohol, while makgeolli is well-known, "Chamisul" soju is also one of the popular and widely consumed drinks.
In Korean dramas, there are often scenes where characters drink, so many people might have seen it.
It's a soju marked by its green bottle.*
Compared to Japanese soju, it has a lower alcohol content and is characterized by having many fruit flavors such as yuzu, peach, and pink grapefruit.
Many people say, "I didn't like soju, but I like Korean Chamisul," and you can buy or drink it at Korean supermarkets or Korean restaurants.
As a fan of alcohol and Korean cuisine, this drink is quite interesting.*
So Popular that It's Been Made into a Cake!
Recently, Korean soju Chamisul has even been made into cakes♡
However, it doesn’t mean they taste like Chamisul or that Chamisul is used in the ingredients.
Rather, cakes decorated to look like Chamisul have become popular♡
In Korean, it is called "soju cake (=소주케이크)."
There Are Some, but the Most Stylish One Is...
Korean soju cakes come in various decoration patterns, such as bottle-shaped designs,
Or a whole dozen in a case design.
There are various styles, but the one I think is the most stylish is certainly this design***
It's a cake with a smooth surface like a birthday cake, decorated with a drawing of Chamisul.
The green of the bottle stands out and is impressive♩
It’s common to draw red hearts and messages around it.
It Might Be Interesting to Arrange It with Your Favorite Alcohol?
While cakes with a drawing of Chamisul are popular in Korea, it could be interesting to customize it with your favorite alcohol and make an original arrangement♩
<For example>
You could draw a bottle of your favorite beer,
Or a can of Horoyoi,
Or draw a bottle of Black Nikka whiskey!
Linking with the green bottle, using Heineken could also be a good idea.
Creating a Chamisul-style cake with the appearance of your husband's favorite alcohol would likely be an impactful and great surprise♩
