Soju is Korea's most beloved distilled spirit, traditionally poured into small glasses and shared at the dining table alongside food — an integral part of Korean drinking culture. Jinro (진로) is Korea's iconic soju brand with over 100 years of history, and "Is Back" is a heritage line that revives the popular 1970s label in a modern format. At 16% ABV, it delivers a smooth, clean finish with a subtle hint of sweetness.

How to Enjoy It the Korean Way · Cómo disfrutarlo en Corea

In Korea, soju is rarely enjoyed alone — it is shared at the dining table alongside food. Here are the classic Korean pairings that go best with Jinro Is Back 350ml.

Samgyeopsal
삼겹살
The most classic Korean pairing for soju is undoubtedly Samgyeopsal — grilled pork belly. The traditional way is to wrap the fatty meat in a lettuce leaf, then follow it with a shot of cold soju to cleanse the palate. This is the quintessential Korean dining experience.
Chimaek
치맥 (치킨 + 소주)
In Korea, fried or seasoned chicken is typically paired with beer (maekju) — a combination known as "Chimaek." However, many households prefer pairing spicy seasoned chicken with smooth soju instead, as the subtle sweetness of the spirit gently balances the heat.
Kimchi-jjigae
김치찌개
Kimchi-jjigae is a beloved Korean stew made with well-ripened kimchi and pork. Alternating between a spoonful of the hot, fiery broth and a sip of cold soju is a combination Koreans fondly describe as "the comfort of a winter evening."
Jeyuk-bokkeum
제육볶음
Jeyuk-bokkeum is a sweet and spicy stir-fried pork dish seasoned with Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste). The bold, savoury flavours pair perfectly with the crisp refreshment of soju, making it a staple lunch and dinner choice among Korean workers.
Hoe (Sashimi)
Korean-style raw fish (Hoe) is enjoyed dipped in Cho-gochujang (spicy vinegar sauce) or Ssamjang. The clean sweetness of fresh fish and the smooth finish of soju complement each other without overpowering either flavour. The gentle 16% ABV is a particularly well-suited match.
Pajeon
파전
On rainy days, Koreans traditionally enjoy Pajeon — a Korean savoury pancake loaded with spring onions — alongside Makgeolli (Korean rice wine) or soju. The nutty crispness of the pan-fried pancake and the clean finish of soju make for a wonderfully comforting pairing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What kind of spirit is Jinro Is Back Soju? How does it differ from vodka or sake?

Jinro Is Back Soju is Korea's representative distilled spirit, a relatively light drink at 16% ABV. It is considerably lower in alcohol than vodka (typically 40% ABV), and unlike Japanese sake (approximately 14–16% ABV, a rice-based brewed beverage), soju is a distilled spirit. The flavour is clean and smooth; this product contains small amounts of natural sweeteners — erythritol, enzyme-treated stevia, and thaumatin — giving it a very subtle sweetness and an exceptionally smooth finish. It is equally well-suited for drinking straight (neat) or as a cocktail base.

Is this soju suitable for vegans or vegetarians?

Yes, Jinro Is Back Soju is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. No animal-derived ingredients or animal-based processing aids have been used. The ingredients are: purified water, alcohol (neutral spirits), fructose, undiluted solution of distilled rice soju, enzyme-treated stevia, erythritol, and thaumatin.

Is this soju gluten-free? Can people with a wheat allergy drink it?

The gluten-free status of this product has not been officially confirmed. The source grain of the "alcohol (neutral spirits)" ingredient is not clearly disclosed; if it is derived from gluten-containing grains such as wheat or barley, the presence of trace amounts of gluten cannot be entirely ruled out. Individuals with coeliac disease or a wheat allergy are advised to contact the manufacturer (Jinro) directly or consult a medical professional before consumption.

What is the most common way to drink soju? What serving temperature and method do you recommend?

In Korea, soju is traditionally served chilled and drunk neat (straight) in small soju glasses (approximately 50ml). For a European-style serve, it works beautifully as a highball with ice and sparkling water, or as a cocktail mixed with lemon juice or yuzu juice. It pairs especially well with bold, flavourful dishes such as Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly), fried chicken, seafood, and spicy food. The ideal serving temperature is 4–8°C (straight from the refrigerator).

Is this product Halal certified? Can minors purchase it?

No, Jinro Is Back Soju does not hold Halal certification and is not suitable for a Halal diet as it contains alcohol (16% ABV). Furthermore, as an alcoholic beverage, it may only be purchased and consumed by persons aged 18 or over in accordance with EU regulations. Age verification may be required at the point of purchase.
