Somaek – a popular Korean cocktail made by mixing soju and beer – brings the quintessence of Korean home cooking to Boston. Preluded by a generous line-up of banchan plates including a variety of kimchi, seasoned cucumber and stewed potato, the family-style service offers traditional dishes found in Korean homes, accompanied by soju, makgeolli and yakju, alongside convivial low-ABV cocktails and the eponymous somaek.
