One problem: a regular source for the key ingredient. Soju is basically a vodka like spirit made primarily from sweet potatoes. Jinro Soju is apparently the number one selling spirit in Korea, China and parts of Japan. I have tried 99 Ranch in the valley, which yielded a tiny bottle of green tea infused soju, but that was their entire selection. My usual source for obscure liquors, Vendome offered little help. Obviously, an in-depth foray into Korea-town is called for, but I thought I'd see if anybody had any other ideas.

It's the largest Korean supermarket in the valley. You should find a large selection at any Korean supermarket, but Chinese markets will not generally carry soju.
