Why are you special in this regard?
portion sizes

Probably could put you on all kinds of security risk lists.
I would rather stay away from russian or maybe chinese restaurants if westerner, those are actual enemies. Or just dont care, dont get seduced by random women out of your league and you will be fine.

And if you mean US security risk lists well thats on US current paranoia coming from hard attempts of current government to make whole world hate US, nothing rest of the world cares much.

Since NK is under sanctions by the US, I supposed you wouldn't want to give them any money for goods or services. It could blow back
I've had Pyongyang soju when it was sold in the US around a decade or so ago, it was ok: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/north-korean-alcohol-imported...

Bought it as a curiosity since I had never seen anything sold from DPRK before and it was just randomly at a liquor store. I guess the importer ended up getting arrested under FARA and you can't buy it anymore.

Aha now I understand. But how does us tourists to PyongUang deal with this typically? Or rather how should it be solved?
