The Andong-Soju(the Korean intangible cultural asset No. 12) is the highest proof alcoholic beverage made by fermentation in korea and has its origin in the ancient Korean state, Goryeo. Production of Andong-Soju reached a critical low because of insufficient provisions in the period when Korea was under the rule of the Japanese. However, after becoming independent from Japan and thanks to the Korean government's aggressive plan of restoration of traditional spirits, by the time the Asian games were held in 1986. The production of Andong-Soju could be maintained. Andong Soju was produced by Jo Ok-hwa who was the only person who possessed the know-how to manufacture Andong-Soju.
