It’s time for Korean liquor
to make a comeback
Our Story
No drink can elicit a connection to Korea as quickly as the Green soju bottle can, but it also feels unjust that such a rich alcoholic tradition should be condensed down to a singular drink.
It is our goal to change this in Hong Kong. The city’s appreciation for Korean culture is already undeniable, but it perhaps has yet to fully tap its potential when it comes to Korea’s wider array of alcoholic selections.
More than showcasing the ability traditional Korean alcohols have as fine pairings to a hearty meal or an exquisite cocktail, we are most eager to highlight their potential as conduits for storytelling. They are, above all, tangible representations of Korea’s rich culture and regional vibrance, and we would like nothing more than to share this with the world.
Let’s Drink
Korean traditional alcohol (a.k.a Sool) is mostly made from grains, with rice being the most common one. They undergo a brewing process with the help of the Korean traditional fermentation starter called Nuruk.
Korean traditional alcohol has various types, such as the way-too-popular Soju, the creamy and milky Makgeolli or Takju, clear rice wines like Yakju or Cheongju. All of these can be actually made from just one brew, like Makgeolli, which can be made into Takju, and when it is refined and distilled, it becomes Yakju/Cheongju and Soju, respectively.
Additionally, there are many other flavored options that are made from fruits or infused with flower essences or medicinial herbs giving that unique taste.
