Description
Jinro Ilpoom Premium Soju 375ml is a premium Korean soju from Jinro, distilled from rice rather than made by diluting neutral spirit like everyday green-bottle soju. Ilpoom, which roughly means top quality, is Jinro’s premium line, and this 375ml bottle offers a fuller, more characterful spirit than its standard sojus.

Jinro was founded in 1924, and its maker HiteJinro is one of the largest soju producers in Korea. For decades most soju in Korea was diluted rather than distilled from rice, after the government banned rice for alcohol in 1965. Since that ban was lifted in 1999, premium distilled soju such as Ilpoom has brought back the traditional rice-based style.
Serve it chilled, neat in small glasses, or over a large ice cube. It suits grilled beef, sashimi, savoury pancakes and braised dishes, and can be lengthened with soda water.
