*really cool intro music*
Sammy: Hi N: Hello, how you doing?
S: Welcome back to T T K!
TTK Intro Beat
Sammy: Firstly, thank you for 800
subscribers on this brand new channel! We've really enjoyed making content for
you guys and you seem to be enjoying it as well!
Niki: as a way of celebrating we thought we'd
get really drunk... Sammy: we're gonna get turnt.
Both: just kidding 100% just a joke.
Niki: no no no
Sammy: singing BTS not today
Niki: you might remember a video where we went
to H Mart in New Malden where we bought some soju and so we thought we'd actually try it!
jjan jjan ding ding dong clink clink bing bing jjan chang
Sammy: if you're new here and you haven't already make sure you press
the subscribe button and then also press the bell because then you get notified
when we post, go live, post on the community tab... Niki: Breathe...
Niki: So we bought
soju. I'm gonna run you through what we have... I've done some research *for once* I
know that jinro is quite a popular brand and I think it's the number one
selling brand *I might have made that up*
Sammy: soju is a white spirit
of clean and pure taste distilled from the best grains.
Niki: most Koreans will say
that soju goes best with sal jong... can't pronounce that.
Sammy: Samgyeopsal, a kimchi-based stew.
like budakjigae... Budae Jigae?
Sammy: Just for complete clarification here:
it is mid-afternoon, we're gonna have these through some shot glasses.
So we can have have like an equal measure of each one... and I've got calls this afternoon
that I don't know be turned for so Niki: in fact we have a phone call in 20 minutes
so let's see how that goes how that goes. Here are the general rules on drinking
soju. 1- receiving the drink the older or most senior person will generally pour
the first shot. Hold the shot glass with two hands with receiving drinks. Turn
your head to the side away from the others and shoot the first shot while
holding the glass with two hands. So, like this.
Traditionally one
does not pour their own shot, much like how someone should not be
pouring their own shots. It follows that no one should be drinking
alone. Taking shots with others builds a connection and a sense
of companionship.
Sammy: It's 17.8%, 13% and this one is 13.5% Niki: - and this is the classic soju
and it is 20.1%! Sammy: I feel like we should start with that
one. You should pour me one then. Niki: yes all errr right
Sammy: Do you need to shake it? Niki: didn't say that no...
Niki: okay so somebody in one of the articles
compared it to rubbing alcohol and I do get that.
Sammy: Oh it smells a bit like nail
polish remover! So the smell reminds me a little bit of acetone it's like a nail
varnish remover... Niki: it's quite strong... Sammy: in a very polite way
Sammy: okay! Niki: Oh someones getting turnt!
Sammy: Shall I pour it for you then!
Niki: er yeah...
WOOOOAH!
Sammy: so why have I got so much?
Niki: two hands
is more a sign respect while a turn of the head is more void flashing your teeth
which can be seen as disrespectful!
Niki: so you turn away to avoid showing teeth
which can be disrespectful so if I disrespect you about this...
one hand and show my teeth..
Niki: erm
Sammy: Erm
Niki: I'm warm
Sammy: it actually feels... Niki: Maybe I'm drunk
Sammy: it feels quite strong
After-effects... I'm feeling a little bit
of a burn but not like much because there's only 20%. 20% is quite strong!
What's vodka?
Niki: I dunno, I've got a business call in
20 mins and I could agreed to everything and anything... Sammy: that was the classic flavor
kind of a non-event for me but it did have a very... I say smooth I mean like
velvety but there wasn't much to it? Niki: yeah I'd say that vodka you're drinking an
acid whereas this was quite smooth it definitely had that like familiar
feeling here like you've just drunk vodka.
This is Cham sul... Chamisul? Ch... cam Chamisul?
Niki: Fresh soju known for its cleanliness, perfected through natural
methods.
Sammy: made with patented bamboo charcoal purification technology
this one is 17.8% I'm not gonna have so much as the last Niki: no I'm gonna do half
I'm doing half... Sammy: yeah
Niki: I can't do a series of four shots in a video I will
be on the floor by the end of it wait what are you expecting first?
Sammy: cotton? Niki: cleaner
Sammy: Smells very similar the last one. There is a slight after *sniffs*
Niki: that smells stronger than the last one.
Sammy: an earthy tone behind it?
Sammy: okay, okay!
Niki: WOWOWOW uh....
Niki: You only need to learn two words...
"Gungbae..." I believe I'm pronouncing
that right, which is Cheers essentially.
And JJ makes a hard J so
it's like Chun Chun Chun Tong Tong...
Sammy: yeah that actually sounds...
Chun sounds more RIGHT than "ding"
Niki: two hands TWO HANDS... One Rule.
I just feel like I'm about to eat a burger.
Niki: Ooo!
Sammy: Definitely a different taste.
Niki: Weirdly it feels
stronger.
Sammy: even though it's not colder I want to describe it as colder. I like
that!
Niki: I didn't dislike it because like I drink wine I don't necessarily enjoy
wine you know what I mean?
Sammy: we have the weaker... this is 13.5%
Pomegranate soju.
Sammy: aw nice!
Niki: Oh God that smell that smells like oh the Cola
bottle sweets?!
*sniffs*
Niki: how much does that smell like cola bottles? Sammy: I'm pouring it!
Niki: you can't pour yourself. No! You can't!
There's like NOTHING in that?
Niki:WOWOWOWOW
How many times? The rules are
simple. TWO hands!
It smells like yeah a hundred percent pick-and-mix
vibes. Sammy: If you don't know what pick-n-mix is, in the UK we got loads of sweets.
Niki: I'll put a photo in!
Sammy: the flavor seems to disappear when you drink it though like
it's there but it's not hanging around in my mouth.
Niki: the flavor is here
I don't know if it tastes like pomegranate though... Obviously
it DOES but it tastes berry very nice.
Sammy: very berry... Mary Berry!
Sammy: okay so that was
that one. That's been my favourite so far because I love a bit of sugar! I might have
alcohol in moderation every afternoon...
Niki: Pffsh no!
Anyway...
Plum.
Oh smells like, that's not
even like artificial plum that smells like there's plum inside this glass! Wow.
Sammy: That smells fruity!
Sammy: why do you keep trying to give me... Niki: that's
only 1/4 of a shot. Whoa whoa whoa!
Sammy: this one is only 5% less alcohol content than the
previous one. This is... Niki: Pffffff
Are you drunk? Niki: no! Sammy: Linda, Niki is drunk!
Sammy: Why aren't you drinking it?
That was my favorite!
Sammy: It sounds really weird but like like a tango like a tango twist. Is
that what they're called? It's all the different flavors?
Niki: Oh, it's a really nice flavor! The
aftertaste was lovely. When it hits your tongue you do get that an alcoholic vodka-ry
flavor but then, actually the pomegranate one didn't do this but this
one i can still taste it. The pomegranate one kind of evaporates
quite quickly. Sammy: This one is more sort of aromatic afterwards. You drink it
and then it hangs around the mouth. Whereas the
previous ones - the two first ones... Not a massive fan but if I was to be drinking, if I
went to Korea, I would definitely go for plum or pomegranate!
Thank you for
watching today's video we really enjoyed mid-afternoon casual drinks with you I
hope you watched along with a bottle of soju or red wine?
Niki: We are fast
approaching a thousand subscribers and so we thought we would let you know that
we're planning on doing a Q&A when we get there so get some questions in mind
Sammy: a live stream no less
Niki: maybe a live stream! Make sure you press the subscribe
button if you haven't already, and the Bell next to it because it really helps
us out! It means you find out when we do anything including breathe! Sammy: Also let us
know if you have ever tried soju down in the comments, if we were problematic in
the way we poured. Niki: probably. Sammy: if you use two hands to drink a shot!
Niki: You've flaunted all the rules.. Flouted? Touted? Both: Ignored.
Sammy: We'll see you guys again on Friday
Niki and Sammy: bye bye!
