#4 Expect to eat.
Anju, or drinking snacks, are an integral aspect of Korean drinking culture. Salty, savory snacks like pretzels or popcorn are usually offered at bars. Platters of fresh fruit sometimes accompany soju cocktails, which are often infused with fruit as well. But like almost everyone who feels hunger pains in the midst of a night of drinking, Korean people crave fried, greasy snacks. French fries. Fried chicken. Spicy fried squid and octopus. All sorts of delightful snacks to help soak up some of that soju. If you’re hosting a party at home. You should definitely be prepared to serve a plethora of Anju. Or if you’re going out on the town, bring your appetite, because most Korean people don’t relish a night of drinking if it doesn’t incorporate platters of spicy, salty snacks.
