Tokki Soju

Tokki Soju White Label, bottled at 23% ABV in a 375ml format, is made with glutinous rice, nuruk and water. The rice, sourced from Sacramento Valley, is milled, cooked and combined with nuruk inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae, a process taking up to two months. After 7–10 days of fermentation, the mash is distilled in a copper hybrid still, then proofed with reverse osmosis water. Founded in Brooklyn in 2016 by Brandon Hill, Tokki Soju was the first U.S. distillery focused on traditional rice soju. Operations moved to Chungju, South Korea in 2019, and in 2022 U.S. production was re-established in Rohnert Park, California.
