From the classic allure of traditional soju to innovative modern drinks, there’s something for everyone. Let’s dive into the representative alcoholic beverages of Korea.
Jinro Fresh is a staple in Korean soju culture with its rich tradition. Loved for its clean and smooth finish after a slight alcohol scent, it has become a favorite among many.
