The Truth About Soju:
Beyond the Green Bottle

Most commercial Soju, found in green bottles, is mass-produced using cheap ingredients like industrial ethanol, sweeteners, and artificial flavoring.
This doesn’t represent authentic Soju’s rich heritage. Don’t miss the chance to taste real premium Soju, crafted with care and tradition, and discover the unmatched depth and flavor it offers.
