<\/span>About Korean Bar Foods (Anju \uc548\uc8fc)<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally and typically before the main meal, Koreans enjoy eating certain dishes called Anju \uc548\uc8fc or Bar Foods that pair well with alocholic drinks. <\/strong>Anju would be equivalent to today’s Bar Food. <\/strong>These are usually served with some Makgeolli<\/a>, soju, beer, or other Korean liquors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anju also sometimes go by Sul-anju \uc220\uc548\uc8fc which is actually a redundant word as Sul \uc220 means liquor in Hangeul whereas Ju \u9152<\/a> also refers to liquor or wine. And \uc548 \u6309<\/a> means to ‘supress or block’. So this is just my thinking but I think Anju is referring to the fact that these foods are meant to help you get less drunk or perhaps drink less since you will also get full sooner. HAHAHA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BTW, I have a fantastic recipe for making Makgeolli at home<\/a> so try making it at home sometime! If you are going to buy Makgeolli, I also have a post where I compare the different brands and flavors in my Ultimate Guide to Makgeolli <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
