This AAPI Heritage Month, Miki's Park is kicking off an inaugural Soju Fest. From Monday, May 23 through Sunday, May 29, Miki's Park will host a weeklong of soju-centric happenings.
The official spirit of Soju Fest 2022 will be West 32, the AAPI-owned soju brand featuring one of the first US-distilled sojus. West 32 was created by two college friends who were inspired by memorable dinners and nights out on West 32nd Street in New York City’s Koreatown. After too many "soju hangovers", the duo sought to develop an approachable Soju free from cheap ethanol and highly processed sweeteners. After countless trials, they achieved a refined recipe for an all-natural, gluten-free Soju. West 32 Soju is their take on the traditional Korean spirit with a modern American craft influence. In September of 2018, they introduced West 32 Reserve, the first and only U.S.-made barrel-aged soju.
In addition to $15 Soju Bottles all week long, daily festivities include:
Monday, May 23 Dinner at the Park: Soju Fest Edition A collaborative dining series featuring a multi-course dinner with soju pairings.
Tuesday, May 24 $1 Soju Shots $50 Titanic Specials (1 Beer Tower + 1 Bottle of Soju)
Wednesday, May 25 Live Music from Clarissa the Sassy Soul Singer
