About Soon Hari
Soon Hari is the flavored soju line from Lotte Chilsung, one of Korea’s largest beverage companies, built on the Chum Churum soju tradition. Soju is Korea’s national spirit — a clear distilled spirit traditionally shared at the table with food — and the flavored Soon Hari range is credited with starting the fruit-soju wave that made the category a global phenomenon. Every flavor in the line is bottled at the same easy 12% ABV in the classic green 375mL bottle. If you are exploring the range, Soon Hari Plum Soju is another shelf favorite.
Tasting Notes
Citron — yuja in Korean — gives this bottling its fragrant, zesty character: aromatic citrus peel and juice with a honeyed sweetness and a gentle tart snap on the finish. It is the most citrus-forward flavor in the line and a natural mixer.
How to Enjoy
Serve Soon Hari Citron well chilled, straight in a small glass the Korean way, on the rocks, or with a splash of club soda. It pairs naturally with grilled seafood, fried dishes, citrus salads and light desserts. Pour it over ice with tonic or soda and a lemon twist, or use it anywhere a citrus liqueur would go in a low-ABV cocktail. For a different take on the category, compare it with Dalho Original Soju, the American craft soju in our collection.
