However, a defector from the Yoduk political prison camp affirmed that the snakes used in the renown Pyongyang Snake Soju were in fact caught on camp grounds by the prisoners.
In order to use the snake for brewery, the snake is first starved. Once the poison has risen to the top of the snake, the snake is immersed in alcohol. As the poison is highly dangerous, the job of catching snakes is left for the prisoners of the camps not common citizens. Comparatively, the region surrounding Yoduk is well-known for snakes.
On April 9th, the first ship of Pyongyang Soju left Nampo Harbor for the U.S. and is expected to hit U.S. markets by June. This liquor will arrive in the U.S. at the end of this month passing through China and South Korea and reach 5 different cities including New York and Virginia for its first trial in sales.
i think i read once, not positive, that in asian (some) cultures its an act of bravery for men and maybe to drink the 'snake wine' like its a way of bring good luck or good future or something along the lines
its been happening for years and now look what they are doing, making money out of it
keep it as a tradition but to bottle it up and put it on market is pure evil
