Lotte Cheoeum Cheoreom Soju Alc.16% 350ml

Authentic Korean Distilled Spirit · Classic Korean Soju

Cheoeum Cheoreom is one of Korea's most beloved Soju brands. Soju is Korea's national spirit — a clear, clean distilled liquor that Koreans enjoy most at meals, work gatherings, and celebrations. At a smooth 16% ABV, it is approachable even for those trying Soju for the first time, and its crisp, clean finish pairs beautifully with Korean cuisine — especially Samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly), Kimchi-jjigae (kimchi stew), and Hoe (Korean-style raw fish).

Cheoeum Cheoreom is known for being particularly smooth and clean among Korean Soju brands. Compared to vodka, it is roughly half the strength, and unlike gin it carries no strong botanical aroma — making it an ideal companion to food.

The Tradition of Korean Soju

Soju (燒酒) is a traditional Korean distilled spirit with approximately 700 years of history. Introduced to the Korean peninsula during the Goryeo Dynasty in the 13th century, it has since become an inseparable part of Korean food culture. Cheoeum Cheoreom is made by naturally fermenting Korean barley and rice, distilling the resulting alcohol, and then diluting it with soft alkaline-reduced water to achieve its signature smoothness.

The production process involves two stages. First, barley and rice are naturally fermented with yeast to produce alcohol, which is then distilled into pure neutral spirits. This is subsequently diluted with mineral-rich alkaline-reduced water down to 16% ABV, and a small amount of sweetener is added for a gentle finish. This process is what gives Cheoeum Cheoreom its distinctively clean and smooth flavour.

Just as European wine begins with the fermentation of grapes and whisky with the fermentation and distillation of barley, Soju follows the same fundamental principle of grain fermentation and distillation. Unlike whisky, however, it undergoes no oak barrel ageing — resulting in a clear, transparent spirit. At a gentler ABV than vodka, it harmonises exceptionally well with food.

How to Enjoy Korean-Style

In Korea, Soju is more than just a drink — it is a culture of sharing. Discover the most authentic Korean ways to enjoy it.

Samgyeopsal

삼겹살

The quintessential Korean BBQ experience. Thick slices of pork belly are grilled at the table, wrapped in lettuce leaves, and enjoyed alongside a cold shot of Soju — the most beloved pairing in Korea. The clean, crisp finish of Soju cuts through the richness of the grilled meat beautifully.

Kimchi-jjigae

김치찌개

Korea's iconic stew made with well-fermented Kimchi, pork, and tofu. Pairing a cold Soju with the bold, spicy broth softens the heat and deepens the overall flavour. This is the most everyday dining scene in Korean households.

Hoe

회

Korean-style raw fish. Thinly sliced fresh flounder or rockfish is dipped in spicy red pepper sauce or soy sauce and enjoyed with Soju. The clean flavour of Cheoeum Cheoreom is considered the ideal pairing to highlight the freshness of the fish — especially beloved in coastal cities.

Somaek

소맥 (소주+맥주)

Korea's national cocktail — a mix of Soju and beer. Typically combined in a beer glass at a ratio of one part Soju to two parts beer. A staple at Korean social gatherings, it is smooth yet refreshing and has become a symbol of Korean drinking culture.

Anju

안주 (간단 안주)

In Korea, Soju is never drunk on an empty stomach — it is always enjoyed with Anju (snacks or side dishes). Dried squid, peanuts, Korean savoury pancakes (Jeon), Dubu-Kimchi (tofu with kimchi), and fruit (especially apple and pear) are classic choices. The richer the Anju, the more enjoyable the occasion — that is the Korean philosophy of drinking.

Geonbae

건배 문화

In Korea, Soju is poured into small glasses (approximately 50ml) and it is customary to receive a glass with both hands when an elder or senior pours for you. The moment of clinking glasses and calling out "Geonbae (乾杯)!" — cheers — perfectly captures the essence of Korean social bonds.
