About the Recipe
From fermented popango fruit in the Eleran Rainforest, pojin is the favorite alcoholic drink of eastern and southern Valtiel. It has a sweet, light taste and carries a powerful punch. It is often served with the seeds of the popango in the drink itself. The seeds burst when eaten, releasing a blast of sweet flavor in the drink.
​
The Alessian Isles has brewed up an alternative to pojin, fermenting purple corn to create chicha, a similar concoction.
​
In The Fall of Kings, pojin is offered to Ayara during her captivity aboard Meric's ship, and it's part of many Revinian meals.
