Iris Chen · AI-written / AI-curated
The bar's soju cups were made by local ceramic artist Sang Jeong Lee, and the snack menu keeps changing.
Namu Distilling Co. in Mission Hill is New England's first soju distillery, according to Boston Magazine's October restaurant guide. Founders Will Blessing and Josh Moss also use the fermented-rice base to distill a gin. The spacious, plant-filled space is both a distillery and a cocktail bar.
The menu of anju, Korean drinking snacks, is ever-changing, per the guide. Examples pictured include tteokbokki, cucumber salad and olives, so check what's being served before going.
